This Rock came from Heaven.So it is Neighter Sedementary nor igneous nor Metamorphic.
No, in fact plenty of fossils are found in sedementary rocks.
Yes they are. Laccoliths can lift the sedementary strata they penetrate. Laccoliths are igneous rock forcibly injected between sedimentary strata.
No, Granite is an igneous rock. It has a very mottled appearance because it cools very slowly allowing the different constituent minerals to form crystals.
Fossils are primarily found in sedementary rocks. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning that it forms when molten rock hardens deep underground. Nothing lives at those depths or can survive those temperatures.
yes Igneous rock are rocks that melted and cooled, such as lava and obsidian. Those erode and become sediment, which is loosely pressed into Sedementary rock. That rock ends up in a place where it is compressed even further into Metamorphic rock. That rock is forces down to a chamber of magma or lava and is melted into Igneous rock again.
Quartzite is the metamorphic rock for sandstone.
fossils almost allways occur in sedementary rock. this is the only way to get fossils without burning or cruching the fossil. you sometimes get fossils in igneous rock, but this is very rare. igneous rock fossils do not have any actual "fossils" in them, they are just impressions.
I Rock!
