What kind of test are there for a sedimentary rock?

There is a vinegar test for limestone where if the vinegar bubbles on the rock it's a limestone


What substance bubbles when vinegar is added to it?

The rock that fizzes when applied to vinegar is MARBLE, you will have to grind it up into powder first though. Edited by Sjheerts: actually no it is not marble. it is something inside the marble. it is called calcite


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.


What could take a layer of limestone away from a fossil?

If the fossil is replaced with silica the easiest way to remove the limestone is with weak acid such as vinegar. If the fossil is also limestone the best way to free it is by carefully removing the limestone with small picks and drills. This is usually best left to expert conservators as it can be delicate work.


How can scientists use a chemical reaction to separate a fossil from limestone without damaging the fossil?

The limestone containing a fossil would be heaated to a sufficiently high temperature (about 1,800 centigrade).then the limestone would become powder and the fossil which is not as sensitive to heat as limestone would remain un damaged
