Best Answer

Fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, and natural gas) are made, over long periods of time, from vegetable matter including algae, ferns, etc. Sometimes in popular culture, fossil fuels are said to result from dinosaur remains, but that is not the case; dinosaurs, like any other animal, will decay after death, and do not leave behind any fossil fuels (although they do leave behind fossils of other sorts).

Natural fossils are made after a creature or plant is impacted tightly in the ground for many years. Fossils can be made at home with a plaster of Paris compound.
