  if i heat up a fossil, would it still count as bioluminescence?

      non answer, my skin is warm due to thermal conduction from the inside of the body, skin itself generates heat from metabolism, but very little compared with the organs/muscles

        Thermal energy is still bioluminescence. Ask a pit viper. Sea creatures create visible light bioluminescence because they have no body temperature.

        Also, I have no idea wtf you are talking about. Every living cell in your body generates heat. Correct, some cells use more energy than others but there is the identical machinery inside every cell.
