Art is a relative term, especially in these modern times. In its most accepted term, art is the deliberate process of arranging certain elements in such a way that appeals to the senses, trying to achieve beauty. But what these elements are and how they are arranged is up to the artist. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that certain artists have used fossils (preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms) to create amazing works of art, very original and interesting; here are just a few of them.
