Igneous fossils do not exist. Igneous is used to describe something that is formed by fire, magma, or volcanic activity.

Which which mars rock contains fossils sedimentary igneous or metamorphic sedementary igneous or metamorphic.?

There is currently no confirmed evidence of fossils on Mars. Sedimentary rocks are usually associated with the formation and preservation of fossils on Earth, so if fossils were to be found on Mars, they would likely be in sedimentary rocks.


Are fossils an important component of igneous rock?

No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, not igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can preserve fossils, while igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, where fossils are usually destroyed.


Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock-?

Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.


What group are fossils never found in?

Does lamprophyre form fossils?

A lamprophyre is a type of ultramafic intrusive igneous rock. It is very rare for fossils to be formed in igneous rocks (and they usually only form as mold fossils in extrusive deposits). As such fossils will not form in lamprophyres.


What kind of igneous rock does not have fossils?

obsidian


Why are igneous rocks not contain fossils?

yes


ARE Fossils always found in igneous rocks?

No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks rather than igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, making them more likely to preserve fossils due to their layered nature. Igneous rocks, on the other hand, form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock and are less likely to contain fossils.


What type of rock contains no fossils?

Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.


Which rocks contain fossils sedimentary or igneous?

sedimentry


What kind of rock are fossils found in?

Igneous rocks.


Do igneous rocks usually contain fossils?

Igneous rocks are formed from cooling and solidifying of molten rock, so they usually do not contain fossils. This is because fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation of sediment and organic materials, preserving the remains of plants and animals.
