In which type of sendimentary rock will you find embedded seashells?

You are likely to find embedded seashells in limestone, which is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of coral, shells, and other organic material.


If you found a rock with seashells in it would it be a sedimentary rock an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?

It is definitely a sedimentary rock because you cannot find sea shells where metamorphic rocks are formed, nor can you find them in magma and lava. This is because metamorphic rocks are formed below the earths surface where the plates of the earth squash an existing rock even small to make it metamorphic, and igneous rocks are obviously formed in volcanoes where the heat and pressure would melt the fossil.
