The most common way for a buried fossil to become uncovered is erosion. Wind and water erode the rock until part or all the fossil is uncovered then generally paleontologist dig the rest up.

An other common way for fossils to be uncovered and discovered is mining rock. As the rock is removed fossils are often found depending on what rock is being mined. Slate mines in Wales and also in China have uncovered some very important fossils.

What are two way an organism can become a fossil without being buried in sediment?

What are three ways that you could begin to determine whether or not a bone found in your backyard is a fossil?

Why is the burning of fossil fuels a concern for a scientists?

Has fossil fuel been around million years ago?

Fossil fuels are formed by plant and animal matter that decays differently under immense pressure and large periods of time deep in the earth's crust. As long as there have been plants and animals (subtracting the perhaps million years it takes to actually form the fuel), there have been fossil fuels. In this way, fossil fuels ARE renewable, though it takes a very, very long time. As long as things continue to die and be buried and potentially, to fossilize or decay, there will be fossil fuels, though there is an argument about how long sufficient quantities of these fuels will last.
