Fossils would not likely be found in rock other than limestone, sandstone, and shale, or rock such as marble that has morphed from these sedimentary rocks.
Fossils can basically be find in most Sedimentary rocks, but not in Igneous rocks because they are formed in volcanoes.

The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
Why are index fossils so important to geologists?
Index fossils are very important to geologists because they identify geological time periods. Index fossils are found within a specific layer of rock- So when one finds the age of the rock layer, that is also the age of the index fossil.
Does sandstone preserve fossils?
No single rock preserves fossils, but they're found mainly in sedimentary rock beds due to the amount of pressure exerted as it layers over millions of years.
What are Fossils most ofen preserved in?
rock

Fossils occur in, or can be found in sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks of a sedimentary origin.

Would an evaporate rock be likely to have fossils in it?

If the same types of fossils are found in two separate rock layer its likely that the two rock layers?
If the same types of fossils are found in two separate rock layers, it's likely that the two rock layers ____.
What type of rock would fossils most likely likely be found in?
Sediment
What fossils are helpful to geologist because they reveal the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur?
Those types of fossils are called index fossils.
Which type of rock may contain fossil?
fossils almost allways occur in sedementary rock. this is the only way to get fossils without burning or cruching the fossil. you sometimes get fossils in igneous rock, but this is very rare. igneous rock fossils do not have any actual "fossils" in them, they are just impressions.
What sedimentary rock is most likely to have a fossil?
Coquina is the sedimentary rock most likely to contain visible fossils.
