The paleontologist would probably find sedimentary rock, but if you mean like a specific type of rock like a limestone or something the paleontologist would find hundreds of different types of rocks not just one type.
What rock results from heat and pressure melting rocks into magma?
Metamorphic rock can result from exposure to heat and/or pressure, but it may take a specific range of temperatures or specific range of pressure to turn a rock into one. Heat and pressure alone does not necessarily create a metamorphic rock from another rock type.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
