well because organisms can be preserved in sedimentary rock mispelled

∙ 8y agoThe sediments that form the sedimentary rock initially cover the remnants of dead organisms. This may protect the remnants from further decay or predation. The high temperatures involved in forming igneous rocks will generally destroy organic remains, and metamorphism usually destroys any fossils present in the rock.

∙ 12y agoIgneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks are created at too high of a temperature to have the fossils survive the process. the fossils would burn up during the making of the rock. Sedimentary rocks form at fairly cool temperatures at which fossils could survive.

Which type of rock is where fossils are found?
They are mostly found in Sedimentary Rocks
Fossils are most likely found in what rock?
No. They are usually found in sedimentary rock.
Fossils that can be used to establish relative dates are most likely to be found in?
sedimentary rocks.
Plant and animal fossils are most often found in metamorphic rock?
no they are found in Sedimentary rocks
What type of rock is a fossil?
A fossil is evidence of an organisms existence, not a type of rock. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks.
Which type of rock is where fossils are found?

SEDIMENTARY
Fossils are most likely found in what rock?
No. They are usually found in sedimentary rock.
Are most fossils found in sedimentary rocks?
yes most likely
Fossils that can be used to establish relative dates are most likely to be found in?
sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks that formed organically typically contain what?
Sedimentary rocks that formed organically typically contain calcite. Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rocks.
Why are most fossils found in sedimentay rock?
Sedimentary rocks are found only at the surface of the ground
What kind of rocks yield fossils?
Most fossils are preserved in sedimentary rocks.
What type of rock contain fossis?
Fossils are most commonly found in sedimentary rocks.
What fossils are most useful for correlation tend to be?
Fossils that are the most useful for correlation tend to be found in various types of rocks, are widespread, and easy to recognize. One rock type where fossils are found is sedimentary rocks.
Plant and animal fossils are most often found in metamorphic rock?
no they are found in Sedimentary rocks
Why are fossils most likely to be found in sedimentary rock samples?
Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock, because igneous and metamorphic rock undergo great heat and pressure when forming, where as sedimentary rocks undergo much less pressure and heat to form, better preserving the fossil
