Which of the following rocks would most likely contain a fossil sandstone granite marble or basalt?

Sandstone is the rock type most likely to contain fossils, as it is formed from compacted grains of sand that can preserve the shapes of organisms. Granite, marble, and basalt are less likely to contain fossils, as they are formed through processes that typically do not preserve organic remains.

What stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weathering?

Soft, porous stones like limestone or sandstone are more likely to show the greatest amount of weathering due to their susceptibility to erosion by water, wind, and other environmental factors. Harder stones like granite or marble are more resistant to weathering.


What type of rock is most likely to hold a fossil?

A fossil will most likely be found in a sedimentary rock because sedimentary rocks are made out of organic fragments such as rocks, shells, leaves, fossils, pebbles, and so on. A metamorphic rock would not hold a fossil because a metamorphic rock forms under great heat and pressure, and fossils would be destroyed under such conditions. An igneous rock would not hold a fossil because they form through the hardening of molten rock and fossils would be burned up and cremated in lava. Thus, fossils will most likely be found in a sedimentary rock.
