The Igneous rock formed when magma cools are; 1. Extrusive (Volcanic) Igneous Rock; which are igneous rocks formed when magma cools outside the earths crust. The texture of of extrusive igneous rock is fine grained. 2. Intrusive (Plutonic) Igneous Rock; these are igneous rocks formed by gradual cooling of magma within the earths crust. The texture is coarse grained.
Rhyolititcen rocks.
Igneous intrusions that crosscut sedimentary rock that contain fossils can provide a date range because igneous rock is datable by radioactive decay techniques.
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.

Extrusive igneous rocks , Intrusive igneous rocks
Radioactive dating is only useful in dating igneous and metamorphic rock. Organic material that has not fossilized and does not exceed 70,000 years of age can be dated by Carbon dating techniques. Sedimentary rock can only be dated by its association with igneous and metamorphic rock.
Igneous rocks
Yes. Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
