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?
The calcarenite matrix will fizz when weak acids are applied. The carbonite mudstone matrix will not fizz.
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result?
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of sedimentation.
What radioactive material is released when a fossil fuel is burned?
Natural gas contains radon and its decay productsCoal contains uraniumThe water associated with fossil fuels during production contains tritium as does any liquid hydrocarbon

Where are all the idol fragments in fossil fighters?
all the idol fragments would be by in the building by the bridge
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.
Where are the fragments on fossil fighters?
The idol fragments are in Greenhorn Plains, Knotwood Forest, Rivet Ravine, Bottomsup Bay, and Mt. Lavaflow... and Secret Island.
What is a plume fossil?
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?
Is fossil which is present in more than one facies or environment. Body of rock with features that distinguish it from other bodies of rock

What fossil fuel contains cyclic hydrocarbons?
Oil contains aromatics or cyclic hydrocarbons, such as benzene.

Natural gas contains radon and its decay productsCoal contains uraniumThe water associated with fossil fuels during production contains tritium as does any liquid hydrocarbon
