Is true or false limestone can be separated from fossils through the use of vinegar?
In most cases both the limestone AND the fossil will be dissolved by the vinegar (eg a crinoid in Carboniferous limestone), so no. However, some fossils (eg echinoderms in the Chalk) are silicified and in these cases dissolving the limestone in vinegar will expose the fossil in spectacular detail and in other cases the fossil will dissolve more slowly than the matrix, so yes. . In other words there is NO true or false answer, fossil preparation and conservation is a discipline in itself.
