It depends on their size and chemical composition. Fossils closely akin to the limestone matrix in composition would need to be manually removed by use of dental tools, scrapers, or electric Dremel type tools. If the fossil has been replaced by silica, it could be removed by the application of acid to remove the limestone that surrounds it.
