Why do rock fossils form in sedimantry rock and not in igneous rock?
Fossils usually form when the remains of an organism are buried gently under sediments which later turn into stone. Intrusive igneous rocks form at depths within Earth where no life is found. Extrusive igneous (volcanic) rocks are so hot when they are deposited that any remains of organisms are usually incinerated. Fossils do occur in volcanic rocks, but very rarely.
What fossil formed when dissolved minerals replace the remains of an organism and then harden to form rock?
A fossil formed in this way is called a petrified fossil. It occurs when minerals gradually replace the organic material in an organism's remains, creating a stone replica of the organism. This process is known as petrification.
What are the subtypes of sedimentary rocks?
Chemical: Minerals were dissolved in water to form it. Organic: Formed from the remains of living things. Clastic: Formed form bits of other rocks.
