I think your looking for Fossils, They contain imprints of Plant and Animal material up to millions of years old.
If you want a specific rock that contains Preserved animal or plant remains, try Amber, its Tree sap that has solidified into rock over time and often the insects or plants are perfectly preserved inside.
I hope this was helpfull!

What can be learned about modern plants and animals by studying fossils?
Fossils tell you about what plants and animals lived under what conditions. If tree rings are small, that tells you the times were dry or cold. If they are big, that tells you they were wet. If you find one type of animal's bones when the tree rings were one way and one when they were another way, that tells you about the fauna. To learn the most about the environment you must actually dig and find them in the site. You must also take pictures while you dig and keep careful records.

What evidence is there that earth has had a succession of flora and fauna?
Fossils!Fossils are the 'remains' of plants and animals (including humans) which lived in the past. Millions of fossils have been found all over the world. They show clearly that different species of plants and animals lived in the past and that they changed over long periods of time. Older fossils are simpler than younger fossils and we can work out the sequence of evolution from these fossils.For example the oldest vertebrate (backboned) fossils are fish. Younger than these are the first amphibians. Then reptiles appear as fossils, followed by birds and mammals.See:http://animals.about.com/od/evolution/a/vertebrateevolu.htmhttp://txtwriter.com/Backgrounders/Evolution/EVpage01.htmlhttp://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/lines/Ifossil_ev.shtmlhttp://www.fossilmuseum.net/
