it shows fossils because when sedimentary rocks are formed waste and decayed matter get cement( crushed ) togather. The change of mineral forms metamorphic rocks, but the fossils will remain in the rocks only the minerals will change.
eg Limestone ----- marble.
Limestone forms marble which is used to build Taj Mahal.
