Why are fossil fuels not considered to be minerals?
Most likely because fossil fuels are not minerals. They are ultimately composed of organic matter which came from living things that died and became buried under sediment. Through a lot of time and a great amount of pressure the fossil fuels were developed. This is also why fossil fuels are considered non-renewable resources because it takes so long to make them. That's all :) JAE HERMOSA

Your question should be "Are fossils like minerals?" See, a fossil is the skeleton of an animal that was compressed under ground. In the right conditions, the bones can be replaced - or filed - with minerals that leech out of the surround rocks and into the cavity left by the fossil. To answer your actual question more simply, they both come out of the ground.
