Fossilization indicates a natural process taking millions of years, not a quick change.

Time Passage

Fossilization can preserve ancient life forms, maintaining their structure in rock.

Natural Preserver

This term is commonly used in paleontology, a science dealing with prehistoric life.

Scientific Importance

Fossilization shows that language learning can plateau, making further improvement tough.

Learning Barrier

Fossilization in language often results from practicing incorrect forms repeatedly.

Practice Effect

Fossilization of ideas or tech can prevent the adoption of newer, better options.

Innovation Stifler

Fossilization can imply an unwillingness to change despite new trends or information.

Resistance to Change

 over geologically meaningful time frames. And it's probably surprising to many of you sitting in this room that it's not the time that matters, it's not the length of preservation, it's the consistency of the temperature of that preservation that matters most. So if we were to go deep now within the bones and the teeth that actually survived the fossilization process,
