How many years does it take for fossilization to take place?

Found rock with what appears to be a string of beads imbedded in it along with loose beads-- the bead are circular and flat with a hole -- similar to a small button.

Fossilization is an exceptionally rare occurrence, because most components of formerly-living things tend to decompose relatively quickly following death. In order for an organism to be fossilized, the remains normally need to be covered by sediment as soon as possible. However there are exceptions to this, such as if an organism becomes frozen, desiccated, or comes to rest in an anoxic (oxygen-free) environment. There are several different types of fossils and fossilization processes.
This doesn't answer your question directly, but you can find a lot of information on fossilization if you follow this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil
