Which material do fossils make more attractive to an architect?
Marble
Does marble have a fossil?
Correctly defined, marble is a metamorphosed limestone. This means it has undergone great heat and/or pressure which usually destroys all fossils in it. Commercially available rock for ornamental purposes is sometimes referred to as marble, but it is actually limestone and this will often contain fossils.
Why does marble contain fossils?
This is because of the way that it is formed.When you have a rock that is formed through metamorphisis then it has been created through heat and pressure acting on other rocks.Fossils are inherently delicate things and therefore precious little would withstand the conditions that are required to create marble - and therefore marble hardly ever contains fossils as a direct result of this
Can you find fossils in the soil?
This is extremely unlikely, as the processes which break down rocks to produce soil would destroy the fossil (which is also rock).
Why does marble rarely contain fossils?

Is marble and fossils are non metallic minerals?

What kind of rock would be most likely to find a fossil sandstone or marble?
Sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock - which is the only type of rock which can contain fossils.

What is the different between marble and lime stone?
Marble is a type of limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, typically composed of calcium carbonate fossils. Marble is a metamorphic rock, which has been subjected to heat and extreme pressure.

Did somebody find any fossils?
Yes somebody did find fossils
Where can I find cheap marble countertops?
I'm planning on re-doing my countertops and considering marble. Where can I find marble countertops for a decent price?
Where can you most likely find a lot of fossils?
To find fossils, you have to go underground, and also, if you have defeated the elite four then you are more likely to find more fossils.
