Current knowledge about microscopic remnants of fossil organisms, namely microfossils are reviewed, focusing on: (i) studies of recent environments used as analogues for the early Earth or extraterrestrial environments; (ii) examination of Precambrian rocks; and (iii) laboratory experiments simulating biotic and abiotic processes and resulting in the formation of genuine or pseudomicrofossils. Fossils' preservation depends on environment and chemical composition of the primary structure, although they might undergo taphonomic processes that alter their morphology and/or composition. Altogether, these examples illustrate what can be potentially preserved during the very first stages of fossilization and what can be left in the geological record after diagenesis and metamorphism. Finally, this provides a rationale to tentatively define diagnosis criteria for microfossils or ways to look for life on Earth or in extraterrestrial environments.
