Kövületekre

Kövületekre is a Hungarian grammatical form that appears in scientific and descriptive texts to refer to fossil material in a directional or referential sense. The base word is kövület, meaning fossil, and kövületekre is the plural form with the directional suffix -re, used to indicate movement toward, focus on, or reference to fossils.

In usage, kövületekre is common in paleontology, geology, and related disciplines. It often appears in constructions with verbs that indicate focus, reference, or action directed at fossils, such as vonatkozik, irányul, vagy mutat. For example, a sentence might read: A feltárás a kövületekre irányult (The excavation focused on the fossils). Another common pattern is a noun phrase: kövületekre vonatkozó adatok (data concerning the fossils).

Grammatically, kövületekre is the plural form paired with the suffix -re, indicating direction toward multiple fossils. The singular counterpart is kövületre (to/onto a fossil). In many contexts, the form signals scientific or cataloging language and is used in references, inventories, descriptions of specimen collections, and discussions of fossil evidence within a stratigraphic or evolutionary framework.

Relation to broader topics: kövületekre falls under the study of fossils (kövületek) and paleontology, including fossilization processes, identification and classification of specimens, and the interpretation of fossil records in reconstructing past environments and life on Earth.
