Yes, it is a fossil fuel. It is also called brown coal. You can read more on this at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignite

Coal is the fossil fuel that is formed in different types based on the amount of heat, pressure, and time during its formation. The main types of coal are lignite, bituminous, and anthracite, which differ in their carbon content and energy density.
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
No, it is not a fossil. It is however the first stage of producing a fossil fuel. Peat is thick vegetation that has died and built up in layers in a wet environment which doesn't decay normally (aerobic decay) because of a lack of oxygen in the layers. Anaerobic decay, or a very slow process of composting, occurs in a peat bog which eventually becomes a coal deposit, over hundreds of thousands or millions of years. Instead of creating carbon dioxide, like aerobic bacteria, and fungi produce in normal decay, Anaerobic bacteria produce methane gas as they break down the peat. This produces lignite or brown coal, which as it ages and the lignite compacts eventually, giving up moisture and nitrogen, become progressively harder and darker coals.
in its early stages this fossil fuel is a spongy brown material
Lignite is a fossil fuel (low grade coal) and therefore non-renewable.
No, while peat can be used a fuel, it is in the same class a wood it is not a fossil fuel. The form of coal that has undergone the least diagenesis (and is still a fossil fuel) is called "Lignite".
one fossil fuel is Peat another one is lignite also bituminous coal anthcite trace fossils and last but not least droopings
The fossil fuel, Coal and the gemstone, jet are formed from ancient plant materials. Jet is a type of lignite.

The known fossil fuels are coal, petroleum, natural gas, lignite, bitumen and peat
Peat and lignite (brown coal) are both beginning stages in the production of coal by natural processes. But coals are not all produced from peat.

Lignite has the advantage of being a readily available and abundant source of energy. It is also relatively easy to mine and has a lower cost compared to other fossil fuels. Additionally, lignite can be used to produce electricity and heat for various applications.
No its not a fossil fuel
