fossils are not metallic minerals. marbles are non metallic minerals.
No, they are organic compounds.
The fossils belong to Petrifaction type of preservation.
In a way,yes.
Fossils.
Mold fossils- an empty space is left when an organism is buried in sedimentary and it decays.Cast fossils- Minerals in rocks fill space left by a decayed organism.(replica)Trace fossils- Markings left by an animal. (footprints, trail, or burrow)Petrified fossils- Minerals penetrate and replace all or part of an organism.Imprint fossils
Minerals are solid, inorganic, naturally occurring, have a fixed chemical composition, and not finally, a perfect internal atomic structure. Fossils come from organic materials. Therefore, fossils are not considered minerals, although yes, by the time the organic material has fossilized, consists of minerals.
Yes petrified fossils can form that way :)
Minerals seeping into an organisms remains form fossils. sediment

most fossils are made of minerals, because when bones are buried, water slowly seeps into them, carrying in minerals, and carrying out some of the bone, until it is completely mineral.
All known Apatosaurus fossils have been found in the Morrison Formation of the western USA. Fossils are known from Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Utah.
