sedimentary rock -sedimentary rock because organisms die on land or on the bottom of a body of water and the sediments cover it and harden to form fossils. -also, limestone can form fossils.
The fossils found at the top of a canyon will probably be younger than those at the of the bottom of the canyon because the fossils at the bottom of the canyon would have been there earlier when the so called "canyon" was once a flat land, so as time went by, the flat land began growing and getting taller and finally became a canyon so the fossils at the top of the canyon WOULD be younger than those at the bottom because the bottom fossils were there before the top of the canton even existed.
