Fossil does not document a known species, but rather the remains of an invented organism. By borrowing the codes of archaeological artifacts, the object inscribes fiction into a deliberately porous historical time, where the categories of past, present, and future merge. This fake fossil acts as a trace: it suggests a possible history and introduces doubt about scientific and historical narratives that claim authority.
