Fossils are impressions or traces of earlier life forms and are normally found in the sediments in or near where they lived. Animals and plants do not live in hot molten magma so we don't find their fossils in igneous rocks and most traces of past life are destroyed when rocks are metamorphosed, so we are left with only sedimentary rocks.
What else can I help you with?
Type of rock in which most fossils are found?
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
Most fossils form in?
Flowers Fossils come out of sedimentary rock. == ==
What do most fossils form in?
Most fossils form in sedimentary rock, which is created by the deposition and accumulation of sediments over time. The most common types of sedimentary rock that preserve fossils are shale, sandstone, and limestone.
The kind of rock that you are most likely to find in fossils?
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
In what type of rack do most fossils form?
Most fossils form in sedimentary rock, which is formed from layers of sediment that build up over time. This process preserves the remains of plants and animals, creating fossils.
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock-?
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
Most fossils are found and what type of rock?
Sedimentary
What rock are most marine animal fossils in?
The most marine fossils are found in sedimentary rock
What kinds of fossils form in rock?
sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rock is the site of most fossils?
Sedimentary rock is the most common type of rock that contains fossils. Fossils are formed when the remains of plants and animals are buried in sediment, which hardens into sedimentary rock over time, preserving the fossilized organisms.
Fossils are most likely found in what rock?
No. They are usually found in sedimentary rock.
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.
