How would you distinguish a sample of calcarenite from a sample of mudstone with fossil shells?

Calcarenite has sandsized shell fragments and sometimes a few larger whole fossil shells. Mudstone is mostly comprised of silt or clay and may or maynot contain fossils, the mudstone will break, fissil, or crumble.


How would you distinguish peat from mudstone with fossil plant fragments?

Peat once dried becomes very easy to burn while mudstone once dries turns to a hard stone and is not flammable even with plant fragments in it. Also peat tends to have layers to its formation while mudstone is very random in its formation.


How do you distinguish a sample of a calcarenite fossiliferous limestone from a sample of carbonite mudstone with fossil shells?

One way to distinguish between the samples is to examine the grain size and texture: calcarenite fossiliferous limestone typically has larger grains and a coarser texture compared to the finer grains and smoother texture of carbonite mudstone with fossil shells. Additionally, conducting a chemical test such as a reaction with acid can help differentiate between the two types of rock, since limestone will fizz when it comes in contact with acid due to its calcium carbonate content.


Is sandstone a fossil?

A fossil is the preserved remains of an animal, plant or other organism while sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock. There is a fairly distinct difference between the two, thus sandstone is not a fossil. Sandstone may have fossil inclusions, but we are talking about two different things regarding fossils and sandstone.

What is a rock that contains a fossil called?

Fossils are rarely found inside individual rocks, but if they are, it will be inside boulders that were originally part of a layer of mudstone or sandstone (sedimentary rock). Scientists refer to this type of rock as "Fossil bearing" Joan Wiffen of New Zealand was a Paleontologist who discovered individual dinosaur bones inside massive mudstone boulders in a stream.

The plume fossil is a fossil that contains the Pokemon archen but you can either get the plume fossil or the cover fossil from this guy in the relic castle.


What is a facies fossil?
