Fossilising

These areas, as we have seen, are always shifting their position, so that the fossilising process, by means of which the commemoration of the particular state of the organic world, at any given time, is effected, may be said to move about, visiting and revisiting different tracts in succession. ❋ Various (N/A)

This might only imply a personal dissatisfaction with the borough's representative, who of late had been very visibly fossilising; it would be difficult to explain a marked reaction in Hollingford against the tendencies of the country at large. ❋ George Gissing (1880)

a little world of her own, instead of fossilising in dull dignity, she proved herself receptive of many influences with which the time was fraught. ❋ George Gissing (1880)

[Farnsworth]: Good news, everyone! I've invented a way to turn Bender into a human using a process I call "[reverse fossilisation]". Leela: How does it work? Farnsworth: Well, in regular [fossilisation], flesh and bone turn to minerals. Realising that, it was a simple matter to reverse the process. I've already tested it by turning the toaster into a racoon. He puts the racoon on a table. It runs around and two slices of toast pop out of it. Fry takes a bite. Fry: Kinda game-y. Farnsworth: Are you ready, Bender? Bender: I dunno. I'm beginning to have some second thoughts-- Farnsworth throws a switch and Bender is zapped with electricity � la the countless Frankenstein films. He slowly starts to take human form. He grows hair, a nose and... Hermes: Cover your shame, mon! He puts some underpants on Bender. The table tips up and human Bender walks off. Everyone gasps. Farnsworth: It worked! Eat it, everyone whose never won a Nobel Prize! And that includes you, Amy! ❋ Ramaness (2009)

[Fossilisation]: This [poop] is [so hard]!! I think it has been FOSSILISZD. ❋ RANDOM_SHIT (2018)
