i went to the Falls of Ohio Near Louisville Kentucy. And i pick up a lot of fossil. is it safe to use the fossil as decoration in a tropica fish tank?

I'd say as long as it's not bleached and you've clean it off thoughly with hot water, it's fine. What kind of fossils?

I would ask what are your water parameters are first as some fossils can raise the ph and such of the tank. I would do a test on it first and put it into a bucket of water and wait about 3 days and check the ph and all.

most fossils are calcium based which will raise you kh and ph.
