Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
False!! Fossils are an important component of sedimentary rock.
igneous
Igneous rock is composed of lava or magma that has cooled and solidified. Fossils are only found within the various strata of sedimentary rock.
No, it's not a sedimentary rock, it is an igneous rock. :)
Igneous rocks.
because sedimentary rocks are on the top layer, while igneous rocks are were the magma is

Sedimentary rock can be made from sediments cemented together, or formed in the shape of remains of living things. Igneous rock is made from cooled magma, inside or outside the crust.

Sedimentary rocks are rocks that are formed by layers of different things compacting very tightly. These layers can have a lot of different things in them, like fossils. So, sedimentary rocks are partially made up of fossils.
FOSSILS.
Igneous rocks.
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)
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.
No. Fossils are only found in sedimentary rocks, and granite is an igneous rock.
