What fossil fuel is sometimes considered a type of organic sedimentary rock?
Coal is the fossil fuel sometimes considered a organic sedimentary rock.
Is igneous or sedimentary rock more likely to contain fossil?
sedimentary
How do sedimentary rock layers provide clues to a fossil age?
because fossils are in sedimentary rock
Do sedimantry rocks have seashells?
Not necessarily. While nearly all fossils, including seashells, are found in sedimentary rock, most sedimentary rock does not contain fossils. Even then, those fossils will not necessarily be seashells. If you do find a rock with seashells, though, you can be pretty much guaranteed that it is sedimentary.
