أحفورة حية
الأحفورة الحية living fossil، هي أنواع (أو سلالات) من العضيات تبدو كما لو أنها هي نفسها من أنواع غير معروفة إلا من الأحفورات وليس لها أقارب أحياء. عايشت هذه الأنواع جميع أحداث الانقراض الجماعي، وتحتفظ عموماً بتنوع تصنيفي منخفض. والنوع الذي يشع بنجاح (مُشكـِّلاً العديد من الأنواع الجديدة بعد عنق زجاجة جيني محتمل) يصبح أنجح من أن يوصف بأنه "أحفورة حية".
