Yea, "fossil" may be accurate or maybe not, but why not use the broader 
terminology as designated by NomCom in their latest revision in which 
this new category is proposed?

Read it here in section 1.2(c) Relict meteorites:

http://www.meteoriticalsociety.org/bulletin/nc-guidelines.htm#s12c

This section is copied here for your convenience:

c) Special provisions are made in these Guidelines for highly altered 
materials that may have a meteoritic origin, designated relict 
meteorites, which are dominantly (>95%) composed of secondary minerals 
formed on the body on which the object was found. Examples of such 
material may include some types of "meteorite shale," "fossil 
meteorites," and fusion crust.
