What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Where is the gemstone garnet found?
In many places in the world, usually associated with schists and other high grade metamorphic rocks.
What type of areas are most likely to form metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist?
Metamorphic rocks are most likely found at a site that is deep under ground. Metamorphic rocks are formed by other materials under great amounts of pressure. This pressure is caused by plate collisions in the lithosphere.
What rock would be the best source of the mineral garnet?
Garnet is a mineral, of the Al SiO3 community, with other contributions as well. Some times used as a minor gemstone. A cubic mineral, found often enough in metamorphosed rocks such as schist.
Where do you find metamorphic rocks in New York?
garnet

Do metamorphic rocks contain lectures crystals?
yes
What countries contain metamorphic rocks?
All countries!
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
What types of stones are most likely to contain fossils?
There are three basic types of rock; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed by volcanic action and don't contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks are formed, usually under water, by eroded material accumulating. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary rocks are changed by heating and/or pressure. From this, you can see that sedimentary rocks are the most likely to contain fossils, although metamorphic rocks also can contain fossils. Any sedimentary rock can contain fossils, but some make fossil hunting easier. Shales and mudstones are particularly good; chalk is pretty much entirely made of fossils - it's formed of skeletons of small organisms, but its difficult to see the individual fossils.

Do sedimentary rocks contain fossil?
yes fossils are found in sedimentary rocks but not in igneous and metamorphic rocks. hope this helps
What type of areas are most likely to form metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist?
Metamorphic rocks are most likely found at a site that is deep under ground. Metamorphic rocks are formed by other materials under great amounts of pressure. This pressure is caused by plate collisions in the lithosphere.
What is metamorphic rocks most likely form?
From the actions of heat and presure on pre-existing rocks.
Why are you likely to find fossils in evaporite sedimentary rocks but not in detrital sedimentaryor metamorphic rocks?
Yes
What rock would be the best source of the mineral garnet?
Garnet is a mineral, of the Al SiO3 community, with other contributions as well. Some times used as a minor gemstone. A cubic mineral, found often enough in metamorphosed rocks such as schist.
