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
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 are coal and limestone different?
LImestone and coal are different because of their outcomes. Limestone , after the cementing, becomes a rock. Coal, after the pressing together, becomes a fossil.
Is limestone a fossil fuel?
