In what type of rock do you find fossils in? why can you only find them in this type of rock?

Question

by TYPE i mean sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic.

thanks.

Answer 1

Sedimentary rocks may contain fossils. These rocks were the result of gradual layers of sediment being deposited, some of which may have buried dead plants or animals, which eventually became fossils.

Metamorphic rock results from changes in other kinds of rocks, due primarily to great heat and pressure. Some metamorphic rock was previously sedimentary rock, but the process of metamorphosis generally destroys any fossils that were present.

Igneous rock is of volcanic origin, so obviously no plant or animal remains would be present.

Answer 2

found in sedimentary rocks. coz these rocks are formed by sedimentation of various layers which may contain dead organisms. which convert into fossils. In metamorphic rocks due to extreme pressure and heat the layers undergo matamorphosis and hence u cant find fossils in them..

Answer 3

Igneous. The fossils have to be cooked in a volcano to actually fossilize.

Answer 4

sedimentary this is becase it is formed over time when layers of the earth get so copact they start to become solid rocks.prehisoric creatures would sometimes die and thier bones would get cought in this process

Answer 5

Sedimentary.

The sediments had to settle over whatever the fossil is of for it to be created.

Answer 6

sedimentary
