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.
What is a marbles clevage?
Marble is a rock. This rock is created due to metamorphosis of limestone. If the marble rock does happen to have cleavage, the cleavage refers to fractures within the marble rock itself.
Is limestone made from clastic organis or chemical?
A purely chemical sedimentary limestone would contain no fossil remnants, organic limestone would.
Where can you find fossil limestone?
Pretty Much all over Minnesota
What is The cleavage of a shale rock?
Schist has slaty cleavage, also called crenulations ( tiny folds).
In which type of sendimentary rock will you find embedded seashells?

What is the difference between fossil rich limestone and chemical limestone?
fossil rich limestone is made by the earth and is enhance with fossils although the chemical is man made, the two are basically the same.

Does limestone have cleavage?
no its wierd i love rice
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?
Limestone is not a fossil fuel because it is not made from the carbon-containing soft tissues of long dead plants and animals. It is formed by fossils based on animal shells. Limestone is not used as a fuel but is used by industries for other purposes.
