Where are most fossils preserved?
Sedimentary rock
Why are most fossils fossils found in sedimentary rocks?
well because organisms can be preserved in sedimentary rock mispelled
How do fossils end up in sedimentary rocks?
fossils are small living organisms that existed millions of years ago. They mostly have a shell which is the fossil that you can sea. Sedimentary rock is formed when lots of small particles and pieces of rock and often dead organisms, (the fossils) drift down to the sea bed and over millions of years get compressed together to form the rock. The fossil that you see was once a living shelled organism which dies and was preserved as the sedimentary rock formed

What type of rock is unlikely to have a fossil in it?
Igneous rock does not normally preserve fossils. But hot rock or ash will occasionally preserve the shape as a molded impression.The rock you most likely will find a rock in is a sedimentary rock because the pattern of the organisms in the sediment is preserved.
