Fossils form through the process of mineral replacement beginning when an organism dies and is buried. Groundwater seeps around the organism, and the minerals in the water gradually replace the minerals in the hard parts of the organism. Over time these minerals turn into a stone replica of an organism.
covered up quickly, also important depending on the type of fossilization, water running through the area. Key would be the mineral replacement offered to the fossil.
A fossil is not a mineral.
Since a mineral formed through metamorphism has been crushed under high pressure and heated to a high temperature it should be much harder and more dense than a mineral formed through evaporation.
Probably, carbonateous fossil.
Fossil fuels, and anything made from them, uranium and minerals.

Yes & No! Mineral Oil is a fossil fuel & is not renewable & would not be classed as a BioFuel Vegetable Oils are renewable & would be classed as BioFuels

When bones, or other dense living material is buried, over thousands of years as it decays it leaves spaces where minerals can gather. As the bone/ivory/shell/whatever, decays it is slowly replaced with mineral deposits that when the substance is fully decayed will fill in the hole that would have been left, and that mineral form is the fossil.
They started to run out the very day people started using them. Fossil fuels take millions of years to form. Any use by mankind would be greater than their natural replacement rate.
either: cast fossil petrified fossil imprint fossil trace fossil
The type of fossil you are referring to is called a petrified fossil. Petrification occurs when minerals such as silica or calcite replace the organic material of the original object, transforming it into a rock-like structure while retaining its original shape and features.
