Fossils are the remains or traces of animals or plants and are normally found in rocks which used to be sediments at the bottom of a body of water in which they lived or were swept into. None of these living organisms were able to live in molten magma which is what most igneous rocks used to be.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of rock are fossils found in?
Igneous rocks.
What group are fossils never found in?
Fossils are never found in Igneous rocks
ARE Fossils always found in igneous rocks?
No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks rather than igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, making them more likely to preserve fossils due to their layered nature. Igneous rocks, on the other hand, form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock and are less likely to contain fossils.
What kind of rock are fossils never found in?
Igneous rocks.
Are fossils only found in extrusive igneous rock?
No, in fact plenty of fossils are found in sedementary rocks.
Are fossils an important component of igneous rock?
No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, not igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can preserve fossils, while igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, where fossils are usually destroyed.
Do igneous rocks usually contain fossils?
Igneous rocks are formed from cooling and solidifying of molten rock, so they usually do not contain fossils. This is because fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation of sediment and organic materials, preserving the remains of plants and animals.
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.
Does igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks contain fossils?
No. In general, there are no fossils in igneous or metamorphic rocks, because the high heat and pressure involved would destroy any fossils. Fossils are almost always found in sedimentary rock.
Do sedimentary rocks contain fossil?
yes fossils are found in sedimentary rocks but not in igneous and metamorphic rocks. hope this helps
What types of rocks contain fossils?
Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.
Why aren't igneous rocks a good place to look for fossils?
You rarely find fossils in igneous rock for one reason. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Most living material is destroyed by the heat leaving no recognizable fossil.
