This is because igneous and metamorphic rocks are created under extreme heat and pressure, and very few fossils would survive those conditions. The most common forms of fossils are those found in sedimentary rocks.
What else can I help you with?
What type of rock contains no fossils?
Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.
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.
Why aren't you likely to find a fossil in metamorphic or igneous rocks?
the fossils would be turned into another rock if it was in a metamorphic rock or igneous rocks. it requires a blanket of sediment
Which which mars rock contains fossils sedimentary igneous or metamorphic sedementary igneous or metamorphic.?
There is currently no confirmed evidence of fossils on Mars. Sedimentary rocks are usually associated with the formation and preservation of fossils on Earth, so if fossils were to be found on Mars, they would likely be in sedimentary rocks.
What aren't you likely to find a fossil I metamorphic rock or igneous rock?
The fossils will be crushed under the pressures required to create metamorphic rocks and they will melt in the heat required to make igneous rocks.
Why is it rare to fine fossils in metamorphic rocks?
Fossils abound in sedimentary rock, you are in fact very likely to find them there.
Why can’t fossils be formed in metamorphic rock and only in sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks as they cool?

What type of rock might have fossils?
Igneous rock is formed by the cooling of magma - liquid or molten rock. Fossils won't be found in there for obvious reasons. We don't even bother to look for fossils in something like, say, basalt, which is an igneous rock. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on igneous rock.
How metamorphic rock turns into igneous?
Metamorphic rock becomes igneous rock when it is melted, then solidifies.
How can an igneous rock become a metamorphic?
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
What can animals not be preserved in as fossils?
Animals are not preserved as fossils. Fossils are imprints of the organism where the body has been replaced by rock minerals. They are most usually found in sedimentary rocks, occasionally in metamorphic rock but never in igneous rock.
Which metamorphic rock changes to an igneous rock?
Any metamorphic rock can melt and recrystallize and become an igneous rock.
