fossils
Sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and limestone, are commonly associated with oil deposits. When organic matter accumulates and gets buried over time, it can transform into oil and become trapped in porous rock formations. These sedimentary rocks serve as reservoirs for oil extraction.
Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.
Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, which can entomb and preserve the remains of plants and animals as fossils. Igneous and metamorphic rocks form from molten material or intense heat and pressure, which would destroy any fossils present.
== == Sedimentary rocks may exhibit strata, or layering. Sandstones will have visible sand grains. Limestones will fizz when placed in vinegar. Fossils usually only appear in sedimentary rocks. A rock made of an assortment of other rocks is usually sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
fossils
Sedimentary rocks form three horizontal layers: strata, singular and stratum. The organisms that fall into the sedimentary rocks, will then be fossilized in each layer.
Sedimentary rocks contain particles of minerals, organic material, and fragments of pre-existing rocks, which have been compacted and cemented together over time. These rocks often include fossils and can be categorized into three main types: clastic, chemical, and organic sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rock is the only type of rock that will contain fossils, but there are several types of sedimentary rock.Examples:Clastic Sedimentary Rocks (particles of silt and/or sand that cement together): Conglomerate, Breccia, Sandstone, Siltstone, Shale.Examples:Chemical Sedimentary Rocks (forms when mineral constituents become supersaturated and inorganically precipitate):Evaporates:Halite, GypsumCarbonates:Limestone, Fossiliferous LimestoneSiliceous Rocks: ChertOrganic Sedimentary Rocks: Coal.The rocks listed in BOLD will likely be found with fossils.
Sedimentary rocks
Igneous rocks are formed from cooling and solidifying of molten rock, so they usually do not contain fossils. This is because fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation of sediment and organic materials, preserving the remains of plants and animals.
There are only 3 types of sedimentary rocks and they are...Clastic RocksChemical RocksOrganic rocks
No. Only sedimentary rocks containing carbonate minerals will bubble with acid.

no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
