According to 118 118, metamorphic rocks make up about 85% of the earth's Continental crust. According to wiki.answers, 75-80% of the earth's surface is composed of sedimentary rock. 20-25% left to be composed of igneous and metamorphic rock.

If you found a rock with seashells in it would it be a sedimentary rock an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
It is definitely a sedimentary rock because you cannot find sea shells where metamorphic rocks are formed, nor can you find them in magma and lava. This is because metamorphic rocks are formed below the earths surface where the plates of the earth squash an existing rock even small to make it metamorphic, and igneous rocks are obviously formed in volcanoes where the heat and pressure would melt the fossil.
