Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons such as coal, oil and natural gas, sourced from the organic remains of prehistoric organisms. From left: a lump of coal, liquid petroleum and a gas flame.
   They are called fossil fuels because, like fossils, they were  formed a long time ago. Oil for example is a fossil fuel, â¦ it was  formed millions of years ago as dead animals and plants died they  formed a layer of dead stuff.ossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon  and include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. When the carbon in  the fuel is burnt with oxygen from the atmosphere, the energy that  was used in photosynthesis is released and carbon dioxide is  re-formed.
