The material on the mountains was not always up there. Mountains are generally created by what is called uplift. And places that were under water and then had remains laid down and fossilized can be uplifted through long periods of time to create mountains. The fossils are then found up there in the mountains. The geologic process is fairly well understood and modeled by geologists.
No. In general, there are no fossils in igneous or metamorphic rocks, because the high heat and pressure involved would destroy any fossils. Fossils are almost always found in sedimentary rock.
Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.
No, metamorphic rock is not conducive to preserving fossils because of the high pressures and temperatures it has been subjected to that destroys organic matter. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
fossils
these rocks are called fossils
You can find rocks that are sedimentary rocks which are found in mountains, rivers and near the seashores.

Mountains are made of rocks and dirt. They have high, bumpy tops, and they are high in elevation.
because they are rocks and fossils dont belong in rocks and fossils can be made things an rocks cant :(...
Use Google and do your Biology homework elsewhere. There are marine fossils high in the Andes Mountains because of layer shifting (which relates to the Law of Superposition), which means that over time, the layers push the fossils upwards. So it all ties into Layer Shifting and how the fossils work.
Fossils are very commonly found in sedimentary rocks more than other rocks. It can be composed of sand, decomposed other rocks and parts of hills or mountains and possibly fish bones.
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Most fossils are preserved in sedimentary rocks.
Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks, because the intense heat and pressure destroys fossils.
Some fossils are not rocks, but they form because there is so much pressure and it blends
Yes... fossils are found in rocks, but rocks deep within the surface.
Igneous rocks.
