It will become misshapen or its constituent minerals may realign, recrystallize or form new minerals. In any event, the most likely occurrence is that the fossil will no longer be recognizable.
The type of rocks that contain fossil fuels are sedimentary rocks, such as shale, sandstone, and limestone. Fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal are formed from the remains of plants and animals that were buried and compressed over millions of years within these rocks.
Sedimentary rock, its rarely found in metamorphic and never found in igneous rock because it would make the fossil of the animal worped and changed. It wouldn't be with the original form on metamorphic and igneous would destroy the whole fossil.
Fossil fuels are typically found in sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which contain organic matter that can be transformed into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Both sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels are formed from the accumulation and compression of organic material over millions of years. Fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas, are derived from ancient plant and animal matter that have undergone tremendous heat and pressure under layers of sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks, on the other hand, can also contain fossil fuel deposits in the form of coal seams or oil reservoirs.
Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils because, unlike most igneous and metamorphic rocks, they form at temperatures and pressures that do not destroy fossil remains. Dead organisms can become sediments which may, under the right conditions, become sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms from magma; no chance for fossils to form there. Metamorphic rocks are other rock types that are changed by heat and pressure; their transformation and mineral reorganization causes very few fossils to be found there. Sedimentary rock can be formed from the accumulation of sediments and are often formed near ancient shores, basins, and lake beds. If an organism dies and is covered by sediments before being rotted or eaten by predatory organisms, it could eventually become part of the sedimentary layer that becomes rock
A fossil is any record of an organism preserved in rock, whether it be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Nearly all fossils are discovered in sedimentary rock.
As in what process causes this? if so it is usually under heat and pressure. Depending on what kind of rick it is depends on the resultant metamorphic rock e.g Shale-->Slate etc
yes fossils are found in sedimentary rocks but not in igneous and metamorphic rocks. hope this helps
because when it melts it makes the shape of the fossil deteriorate.
Not quite; occasionally fossil traces can be seen in marble - which is a metamorphic rock.

It is conceivable that a fossil could be found among sedimentary rock crystals, and some dead organisms have actually been replaced by minerals which are composed of crystals. Fossils in gems and crystals from metamorphic or igneous processes--no.
Not normally. Metamorphism destroys the characteristics of the original rock, including bedding, cleavage, texture and fossils. In extremely low grade metamorphic rocks, however, fossils may still be present, however these fossils will be deformed.
They have a lot of fossil fuels due to the rock(which i believe is either Sedimentary, or Metamorphic and Igneous). They have to drill holes in the rocks to find the minerals and fuel.

A clam might become a fossil if it gets trapped on a sedimentary rock and remains there for a long..long...time.
