Fossils are preserved only in sediments, that is rocks formed either by the break up and transportation of existing rock by water as mud or silt, more rarely sandstone or even coarser fragments or by the precipitation of minerals, mainly calcium carbonate that forms limestone or a relative. The organisms preserved are usually resistant to erosion and disintegration like seashells and sometimes bone.

What type of rock is unlikely to have a fossil in it?
Igneous rock does not normally preserve fossils. But hot rock or ash will occasionally preserve the shape as a molded impression.The rock you most likely will find a rock in is a sedimentary rock because the pattern of the organisms in the sediment is preserved.
Where are fossils mostly preserved?
Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock, which is the most common type of rock on Earth. Sedimentary rocks form when particles of sediment are deposited by water or wind, and then hardened over time.
What type of rock can form fossils?

Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
Which type of rock igneous or metamorphic contains fossils?
Though somewhat rare, either rock type could contain fossils.
What type of fossils did the Leakeys find?
a rock type
What type of rock do geologists and archaelogist study because they contain fossils?
Most fossils are preserved in sedimentary rocks such as mud-stones and shales. Fossils can also be found in metamorphic rocks and in some cases igneous rocks like tuffs can preserve organisms (like Pompeii).
Does lamprophyre form fossils?
A lamprophyre is a type of ultramafic intrusive igneous rock. It is very rare for fossils to be formed in igneous rocks (and they usually only form as mold fossils in extrusive deposits). As such fossils will not form in lamprophyres.
