All fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Some sedimentary rocks are made of nothing but fossils such as chalk. A creature ( microscopic or larger) skeleton is deposited after death usually on the ocean floor. Sediments cover it, and over time turns into a fossil.

How are sedimentary rocks mader?
There are different ways sedimentary rocks are formed. Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken pieces and particles of other rocks, [which is a reason why the name was given to these types of rocks (sediment)] and these bits get cemented together. These types of sedimentary rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks are another type that comprise of mineral crystals, like gypsum and halite. Lastly, organic sedimentary rocks are made of, well...... organic materials. They are made of the remains of once living organisms and contain the remains of living creatures such as clam shells, plankton skeletons, dinosaur bones, and plants.
