When dinosaurs die their bodies decay and leave bones. The bones become buried over time under layers of sediment. When enough heat and pressure are generated, the sediments undergo metamorphism. The bones are crushed and turned into a liquid due to the extreme heat. This liquid is boiled and finally turned into natural gas, which is located sometimes miles underground. Hope that helps
The oil (petrol , diesel etc)which is generally used, are obtained from the microscopic organisms only. It is estimated that many many years ago, when there was a huge catastrophic change, all the living forms mostly the smaller especially the microscopic organisms were buried deep inside the layers of the earth.
The fossils thus formed gets buried down. After millions of years when the oil is discovered at these sites,then along side these micro-organismic fossils are also discovered.

What are microscopic fossils also called?
Microscopic fossils are also known as microfossils.
How is DNA extracted from fossils what are the costs associated with testing DNA in fossils?
Fossils are the mineralised remains of organisms and contain no organic material.
What fossil records do you have from the Precambrian life?
very little, there are stromatolites, domed mates of microscopic algae that are aged as precambrian. No other fossils in the precambrian
Why are their so many well-preserved fossils?
There are so many well preserved fossils because there are so many fossils, some will be well preserved. In certain locations at certain times the conditions will be right for preserving living tissues.
Do index fossils tell the relative or absolute age of fossils?
Index fossils can be used to help determine the relative age of rock layers. Index fossils are from species that only existed for a short time. Index fossils are found in rock layers. Trilobites and Graptolites are index fossils.
What are microscopic fossils also called?
Microscopic fossils are also known as microfossils.
What are microscopic fossils?
Microfossils
Microscopic fossils can also be called what?
Index fossil
Is calcite a mineral associated with fossils?
yes
How is DNA extracted from fossils what are the costs associated with testing DNA in fossils?
Fossils are the mineralised remains of organisms and contain no organic material.
Would You find fossils in quartz?
Quartz is a mineral not a rock. Fossils can be found associated with quartz in sedimentary rock not inside the quartz.
What sedimentary rock often has fossils?
Paleontologists are looking for fossils in sedimentary rock.
What fossil records do you have from the Precambrian life?
very little, there are stromatolites, domed mates of microscopic algae that are aged as precambrian. No other fossils in the precambrian
Does the fossils and archeology mod for Minecraft work in multiplayer?
Yes but I wouldn't suggest it because there is only a certain amount of fossils.
What are examples of fossils?
Examples of fossils include preserved bones, teeth, shells, plants, and footprints. These remains provide evidence of past life forms and give insights into the Earth's history. Fossils can range from tiny microscopic organisms to large skeletons of dinosaurs.
What are the remains of once-living orgainismsfound in sedimentary rocks?
All fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Some sedimentary rocks are made of nothing but fossils such as chalk. A creature ( microscopic or larger) skeleton is deposited after death usually on the ocean floor. Sediments cover it, and over time turns into a fossil.
Why are there few fossils of certain groups of protist?
because they're old
