'''[[Fossilization]]''' is the process that creates a fossil. The word "[[fossil]]" is derived from the Latin ''fossilis'', something dug up. During the [[Middle Ages]], the term "fossil" was used for any sample recovered from the earth, including [[rocks]] and [[minerals]]. Today, fossils are recognised as a record of ancient [[life]]. They can be actual remnants of an organism, or evidence of their behaviour.

Theodor Christian Lohmann
Theodor Christian Lohmann (born October 18, 1831 - died August 31, 1905) was a 19th century German administrative lawyer, civil servant and social reformer, second in importance only to Otto von Bismarck in the formation of the German social insurance system.

The English translation as "deaconry" would be inaccurate, since in Germany Diakonie is also a lay diaconate, i.e. religious service of reconciliation in the world combining the word of faith and the action of love. Its aims are said to include: a) furthering ecumenical relationships among diaconal associations and diaconal communities; b) reflecting on the nature and task of diaconia in the Biblical sense; c) furthering a sense of diaconia in churches and congregations; d) strengthening fellowship among members to render mutual help and undertake common tasks.
