fossils almost allways occur in sedementary rock. this is the only way to get fossils without burning or cruching the fossil. you sometimes get fossils in igneous rock, but this is very rare. igneous rock fossils do not have any actual "fossils" in them, they are just impressions.
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.
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.
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.
Marine shells could be found in a variety of rocks, all of which would be of the sedimentary classification. Limestone would typically most often contain shells or shell fragments. A type of limestone containing abundant shells, marine skeletal remains, and shell fragments is called coquina.
To find ammonite fossils, you can search in areas where sedimentary rocks are exposed, such as cliffs, quarries, or beaches. Look for rocks with spiral patterns or ridges, as these may contain ammonite fossils. Use a rock hammer or chisel to carefully extract the fossils from the rock. Be sure to follow any local regulations or guidelines for fossil collecting.
No, geolgic is not a word in English

Shale sometimes holds fossils. =]
If two widely separated layers of rock contain the same type of fossil, it suggests that the layers could be of similar age, as the presence of the same fossil indicates that the organisms lived during the same geological period. However, the environments of these layers may have been quite different, reflecting varying conditions such as climate, sedimentation, and water depth at the time of deposition. Fossils can be transported by various means, and thus, the same type of fossil in different environments might indicate migration or adaptability of the species. Therefore, while the fossils provide a chronological link, the differing environments suggest a complex history of ecological change.
All fossil fuels contain complex hydrocarbon chains comprised of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. They also may contain nitrogen, sulfur, moisture, and noncombustible minerals.
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.
No. If you have found a hard rock with an animal print on it, it may be a fossil.
Not necessarily. It may be just a fracture.
When there is a combustion of fossil fuels acid rain occurs from sulfuric, carbonic, and nitric acid. Fossil fuels may contain radioactive materials.
Yes. While they are mostly made of rock or metal, they may contain some ice.
The layers of rock containing the same type of fossil are likely the same age. This indicates that the rocks were formed at the same time and have not been disturbed or repositioned since then. This principle is known as the principle of faunal succession, which helps geologists correlate rock layers and determine their relative ages.
Metamorphic or new sedimentary rock.
