sediment rocks
Yes... fossils are found in rocks, but rocks deep within the surface.
Igneous rocks.
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
Fossils can be found all over the world, usually in sedimentary rock, which comprises the bedrock of the majority of the planet. Limestone and shale are particularly good fossil medium.
because they are rocks and fossils dont belong in rocks and fossils can be made things an rocks cant :(...
Fossils are only found in rocks that are laid down on the surface of the Earth. The majority of fossiliferous rocks are therefore sedimentary BUT fossils are also occasionally found in lava flows (igneous rocks) - eg lava trees and in some metamorphosed sedimentary rocks (metamorphic rocks) - eg the "delabole butterfly"
They are mostly found in Sedimentary Rocks
No, fossils are actually very difficult to find. The majority of fossils found are marine invertebrates. They are usually found in sedimentary rock. However, there is plenty of sedimentary rock that contains no fossils at all.
Fossils are never found in Igneous rocks
The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Fossils are they key to understanding what living things used to be like.
No, fossils are typically not found in metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which can destroy any fossils present. Fossils are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks where the conditions for preservation are more favorable.
