the "fossil style" generally refers to a style in art, design, or creative works that draws on the visual characteristics and connotations of fossils. Its core is to simulate the texture of fossils—such as the rough texture of rocks and the outline marks of biological remains—with colors mostly using earthy tones like yellowish-brown and grayish-brown to create an ancient and vicissitudes atmosphere.

This style often conveys a sense of time precipitation and is commonly seen in decorative arts (e.g., fossil-textured ornaments), illustrations (paleontological-themed creations), and clothing design (fabrics with fossil patterns), combining a natural retro vibe with a sense of scientific exploration.
