it depends on the composition of the sandstone
Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.
Compressed and cemented sand is called sandstone.
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.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that forms from the compaction and cementation of sand grains. In the rock cycle, sandstone is formed from the lithification of sedimentary deposits, eroded from existing rock formations and carried by wind or water before settling to form layers of sand. Over time, these layers are buried and compacted to eventually form sandstone.
Sedimentary rock. Sandstone is formed from the accumulation and cementation of sand-sized grains.
Marine sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed of very fine sediments of sand from the beach. The oscillation of the waves on the rock holds its shape and gives it its oscillation ripples

The Snoopy Rock of Sedona, Arizona, is composed of striking red sandstone, weathered into a rough shape of a reclining Snoopy.
The buildings in Petra were carved into the red sandstone cliffs of the region. This sandstone is known as the "Nabatean sandstone" and it was easy to carve and shape, making it ideal for the construction of Petra's buildings.
at its most basic sandstone is a sedimentary rock.

Sandstone is sedimentary itself.
