the animals die first.
Plant remains must undergo a process called burial and compaction where they are buried under layers of sediment and subject to high pressure. Over millions of years, the plant remains undergo heat and chemical changes leading to the formation of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
Yes, a thin layer of carbon from the remains of a plant that lived thousands of years ago can be considered a fossil. Fossils are preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, and this carbon layer fits that definition.
That would be a fossil.
The remains are known as a fossil.
The study of fossil remains is called paleontology. It involves the investigation of plant and animal fossils to understand the history of life on Earth.
fossil
Ancient plant remains are buried and compacted until they form fossil fuels. There are 3 types of fossil fuels: Natural Gas Oil and Coal; the only solid fossil fuel, which is what you're looking for.

a fossil
the preserved remains or trace of a plant or animals that live in the past
preserved remains of an animal or plant or living thing IS a fossil. dont mistake that with tar. tar is a mixture of once living things. ~your welcome
Paleontology
a fossil (animalfossil)(plantfossil)
ancient plant remains that became compacted into rock

Fossil fuels are produced from plant and animal remains over thousands of years. The plant remains finally give rise to coal while animal remains form petroleum and natural gas. The remains of dead plants and animals are covered by silt and mud and gradually layer after layer forms over them. Over the course of thousands of years the remains undergo changes under incredible amount of heat and pressure to produce fossil fuels.
