The dead fossilized alien is commonly referred to as the "Space Jockey". It was a term used by the production crew, and was subsequently adopted by fans of the movie, even though the name itself isn't used anywhere in the movie, nor in the script. Similarly, the terms "facehugger" and "chestburster" were used throughout production to refer to the face-grasping parasite and newborn alien respectively, and have become widely recognized terms, even though they were never used on-screen.
