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.
What else can I help you with?
What conditions made it possible for a petrified fossil to be fossilized?
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.
Would a fossil clam be classified as a mineral?
A fossil is not a mineral.
How do you think the hardness and density of a minereal that formed through metamorphism would compare to a minereal that formed through evaporation?
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.
If a leaf is fossilized it would most likely form what type of fossil?
Probably, carbonateous fossil.
What kind of resources are non-renewable?
Fossil fuels, and anything made from them, uranium and minerals.

Is oil a biofuel?
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

What is fossilization in detail?
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.
How did the first fossil fuel appear?
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.
A fossilized jaw bone would represent what type of fossil?
either: cast fossil petrified fossil imprint fossil trace fossil
What is the type of fossil called where there is a molecule-for-molecule replacement turning the original object into a rock like object?
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.
