Definition
A fossil or fossilized remains of a bat or bat-like creature from prehistoric times.
Etymology
From 'Chiroptera' plus the suffix '-ite' (fossil or stone). This mineralogical/paleontological suffix appears in fossil names like 'ammonite' and 'trilobite.'
Kelly Says
Bat fossils are incredibly rare because bats' bones are paper-thin and hollow—they break into pieces long before fossilization can occur, making actual 'chiropterites' more valuable to paleontologists than you'd think!
