False.

Fossils for glaciers cannot be supported by cold climate organisms found in low latitude locations. Glaciers are formed in high latitude or high altitude regions where temperatures are low enough for ice to accumulate. Cold climate organisms that thrive in these environments can be preserved as fossils within glaciers. If fossils of cold climate organisms were found in low latitude locations, it would suggest that the climate in that area was different in the past, with lower temperatures and the presence of glaciers.
