Many rocks can contain fossil organisms. Generally speaking, sedimentary rocks are the rock type that contains the most fossil organisms. Coquina, a type of limestone, is formed nearly completely by the shells of marine organisms. And coal is a sedimentary rock composed of the remains of ancient swamp plants.

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
How is asphalt formed in the rock cycle?
Asphalt is not a rock, but is produced from the remains of fossilized organisms.
