In some cases, Kichi, the difference is that there is rock all around a nice big chunk of empty space. Imprint fossil. Hard to get more chemically different than that. On the other hand older fossils are often made of minerals deposited in an imprint, or that have permeated the bone (eventually replacing it entirely). In this case it's structure and chemical content as opposed to the (largely sedimentary) rock around it helps to distinguish between the two. There are lots of things that look like fossils that aren't.
