The area was probably a wet area like a lake or an ocean that dried out some time after the fish died. (you should know this stuff!!)
Probably, carbonateous 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
A hard shell organism have more of a chance to become a fossil .
Burning fossil fuels creates greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which is contributing to Global Warming. Fossil fuels are a great source of energy, but cause many side effects and they are nonrenewable. Other bad side effects could be the retrieval of fossil fuels which can cause harm to the environment. Everybody saw the terrible aftermath of the BP oil spill a few years ago, problems such as this caused a massive destruction of habitat for 1000s of animals. In the UK, extraction of Gas has caused minor earthquakes which has also damaged the local environment. Basically, fossil fuels are great for energy, but are terrible for the environment.
Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record. Fossil are bones of extinct creatures that are said to live thousands of years ago. A fossil is the ancient remains of animals, plants and other organisms from the distant past. The word is from a Latin word 'fossus' which means 'dug up'.
paleontologist have discovered a fossil of a strange creature.
Ex: The paleontologist carefully brushed dust off of an ancient fossil.
the shape and size...

It was a land plant.
Depending on the size of the fossil, anything from a micrometre to a metre.
All the sixth graders studied fossils.
An original material fossil is valuable to a paleontologist because it provides direct evidence of the ancient organism without alteration or interpretation. It allows researchers to study the physical characteristics, biology, and environment of the organism with greater accuracy. Original material fossils are rare and can provide unique insights into our understanding of prehistoric life.
A Paleontologist is one who studies prehistoric life (Fossil's, organisms etc)
prehistoric dig site fossil dinosaur etc.
The scientific names are derived from Greek and, the person who studies dinosaurs and, fossil's is a Paleontologist.
