How can scientists use a chemical reaction to separate a fossil from limestone without damaging the fossil?
The limestone containing a fossil would be heaated to a sufficiently high temperature (about 1,800 centigrade).then the limestone would become powder and the fossil which is not as sensitive to heat as limestone would remain un damaged
What could take a layer of limestone away from a fossil?
If the fossil is replaced with silica the easiest way to remove the limestone is with weak acid such as vinegar. If the fossil is also limestone the best way to free it is by carefully removing the limestone with small picks and drills. This is usually best left to expert conservators as it can be delicate work.
Is limestone made from clastic organis or chemical?
A purely chemical sedimentary limestone would contain no fossil remnants, organic limestone would.
Is true or false limestone can be separated from fossils through the use of vinegar?
In most cases both the limestone AND the fossil will be dissolved by the vinegar (eg a crinoid in Carboniferous limestone), so no. However, some fossils (eg echinoderms in the Chalk) are silicified and in these cases dissolving the limestone in vinegar will expose the fossil in spectacular detail and in other cases the fossil will dissolve more slowly than the matrix, so yes. . In other words there is NO true or false answer, fossil preparation and conservation is a discipline in itself.
What is an animal fossil buried in?
An animal fossil can be buried in sedimentary rock layers such as sandstone, shale, or limestone that have accumulated over time. The fossilization process occurs when the remains of an animal are buried quickly after death, protecting them from decay and allowing for the formation of a fossil.
In which type of sendimentary rock will you find embedded seashells?
You are likely to find embedded seashells in limestone, which is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of coral, shells, and other organic material.
What is the difference between fossil rich limestone and chemical limestone?
fossil rich limestone is made by the earth and is enhance with fossils although the chemical is man made, the two are basically the same.

What is fossil rich limestone?
Fossil rich limestone is limestone with various sea creature fossils in it such as shells. It is organic and fine grained. It is sedimentary... Yea that's it :P
Is limestone a fossil fuel?
Limestone is not a fossil fuel because it is not made from the carbon-containing soft tissues of long dead plants and animals. It is formed by fossils based on animal shells. Limestone is not used as a fuel but is used by industries for other purposes.
Is limestone made from clastic organis or chemical?
A purely chemical sedimentary limestone would contain no fossil remnants, organic limestone would.
Were can you find limestone?
You can find limestone anywhere under the ground.

What has the author Nikolaos Solakius written?
Nikolaos Solakius has written: 'Foraminifera and biostratigraphy of the Arnager Limestone, Bornholm, Denmark' -- subject(s): Animals, Fossil, Foraminifera, Fossil, Fossil Animals, Fossil Foraminifera
Why are buildings made from limestone affected by the products from burning fossil fuels which contain sulfur?
Buildings made from limestone are affected by sulfur compounds from burning fossil fuels because sulfur dioxide in the air reacts with limestone to form sulfuric acid. This acid causes the limestone to deteriorate by dissolving and weakening its structure through a process known as acid rain.
Would you expect to find fossils in limestone?
Limestone is a term for rock made primarily from Calcium Carbonate. When marine animals and plants die, their bodies disintegrate and rest on the floor of waterbeds. Their bodies break down into Calcium Carbonate gradually and limestone is created as a result of this break down of organic matter.
