This is because of the way that it is formed.
When you have a rock that is formed through metamorphisis then it has been created through heat and pressure acting on other rocks.
Fossils are inherently delicate things and therefore precious little would withstand the conditions that are required to create marble - and therefore marble hardly ever contains fossils as a direct result of this

Correctly defined, marble is a metamorphosed limestone. This means it has undergone great heat and/or pressure which usually destroys all fossils in it. Commercially available rock for ornamental purposes is sometimes referred to as marble, but it is actually limestone and this will often contain fossils.
Marble is a metamorphic rock, and the process of metamorphosis destroys fossil shapes.
fossils
Marble is calcium carbonate.

Sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock - which is the only type of rock which can contain fossils.
They have no bones.
Animal fossils contain hydroxyapatite from bones.Plants contain carbon.
