What are plant fossils?

Fossils are the traces of plants or animals that have been preserved by natural resources inside Earth's crust layer. For example, detectives attending a crime scene look for mostly fingerprints. The criminals usually leave evidence that some sort of event occurred. When we mention animals, they also leave behind clues when they become extinct. What we call these clues are fossils, obviously. If you want to know what kinds of fossils there are, well, just listen to me. Two kinds of fossils found in rocks, usually sedimentary, are molds and casts. Molds are the "stuff" that's formed when an organism is buried by sediments and the sediments eventually transition into the sedimentary rock stage. The animal usually leaves a "cavity" in the rock. This cavity is what we call a mold. Most of the time, mold either fills with mud or sand. Back to your question: Well, a fossilized plant is found in individual parts. These fossils could be leaves, dead or left-over flowers, or anything else of that particular sort. Usually, a leaf is a common example of a fossilized plant.

What kinds of sedimentary rocks are oil and natural gas found?

Oil and natural gas are typically found in sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, limestone, and shale, where they accumulate in porous spaces or traps created by layers of impermeable rock above and below. The sedimentary environment plays a key role in the formation and trapping of these hydrocarbons.
