The xeno must have existed before since they find the fossilized space jockey, which must be thousands of years old.
My first post! Hi.
The space jockey couldn't have been fosillised. It takes being buried in silt and mud, then leaching of minerals from the same and transformation to sedimentary rock to create a fossil. Millions of years. Ergo the Space Jockey wasn't
fossilised.It was also a space suit.
There is a process whereby mineral laden water hardens objects called petrification. Mother Shiptons well is an example of this. Objects can become stony in 6 months..

Don't worry,
The roots of Xenomorph existed more than 2000 years ago, going by the Mural in the Urns room of Prometheus.
Call it an Ultramorph or an adult Deacon, the Xenomorph is one of the variation. So is the Neo-morph.
The real evil is the Ultramorph because it was worshipped / given a special place on the Mural by the Engineers.
The Black goo was imbibed with the DNA of this creature, with acidic blood, rapid growth and stuffs.
Xenomorph and Neomorphs are just variations.i hope to see the true ancestor I. E. The Ultramorph in the sequels.
Wether the Ultramorph was created by the engineers or were they naturally occurring species discovered by the Engineers is still a mystery.
I think the Engineers revered the Ultramorphs because they were the source of the goo, or its precursor if it was weaponsied by the Engineers. The mural depicts their triumph over this species, and possible subjugation. QED the Ultramorphs were a natural species.
I also suspect that the Engineers might be synthetics. And David creates the Xenomorph from Shaws eggs, an Engineer, or possibly Walter...
