There are two types of igneous rocks; intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed underneath the earth's surface from magma where it cools slower and develops large crystal structures. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed above the earth's surface from lava that cools quickly and creates rocks with smaller, finer crystal structures.

Igneous rocks can be classified by their method of formation and by their mineralogy.

Igneous rocks are usually classified first by their color index. The color index is separated into four categories. Felsic rocks are the lightest and are composed of mostly quartz and potassium feldspar. Intermediate rocks are the second lightest and are made up of mostly plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite. Mafic rocks are made up of plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and amphibole. Ultramafic is made up of mostly olivine, with pyroxene and amphibole.

Igneous rock forms from magma or lava. It would be unlikely an organism's remains would survive partially or intact upon exposure to such conditions.
Animals are classified based upon their anatomy, physiology, genetics and behaviors.

Intrusive, or plutonic, based upon the size of the crystals. Intrusive igneous rocks tend to have larger and more developed crystals than volcanic igneous rocks because of minimal exposure to air, causing the magma to cool more slowly.
All three types of rock exist at Bryce. It depends upon where you are in the park.
basalt
Yes, the structure of composition of either a volcanic or igneous rock can be altered significantly upon their ejection from a volcano.

Northern Rock was based at Regent Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
