Abstract
The article discusses the term fossils and fossilization in response to creationists's doubt about the latest discovery of an intact blood vessels and other soft tissues in a demineralized bone specimen of a 65-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex by paleontologists. Aside from scientists that question the claim of these paleontologists, creationists argue that the obtained T rex fossil is not more than a few thousand years old. This said creationists' idea may have resulted due to poorly supported preconceptions about fossils and fossilization and because scientists have not discussed clearly what fossils is and how they are form.
