Definition
A fossil or trace of an ancient sun-loving creature or organism; also refers to certain types of coral fossils shaped like the sun.
Etymology
From Greek 'helios' (sun) + 'lite' (stone). Paleontologists use this term for fossilized remains of organisms associated with sunlit environments.
Kelly Says
Some heliolites are ancient corals that lived in shallow, sunny seas millions of years ago—their fossilized shapes are so perfectly sun-like that early scientists thought they had religious significance!
