Which type of rock igneous or metamorphic contains fossils?

Metamorphic rocks do not typically contain fossils, as the intense heat and pressure involved in their formation often destroy any remnants of organic matter. Igneous rocks are formed from molten material and do not contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation and compression of sediments, are the type of rock that commonly contain fossils.
