Best Answer

the only remaining oil that can be found today is found in Sedimentary rock. Some Sedimentary rocks are shale, sandstone, limestone, and gypsum. Coal is also a Sedimentary rock.

How do you classify igneous rocks from other types of rock?

Igneous rocks are identified by first looking at the color index. Felsic igneous rocks contain mostly potassium feldspar. Intermediate igneous rocks contain mostly plagioclase feldspar. Mafic igneous rocks contain pyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase feldspar. Ultra mafic igneous rocks contain mostly olivine. Then igneous rocks are identified based on texture. For example, the texture of igneous rocks can be aphanitic, pegmatitic, phaneritic, glassy, vesicular, etc.

What types of stones are most likely to contain fossils?

There are three basic types of rock; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed by volcanic action and don't contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks are formed, usually under water, by eroded material accumulating. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary rocks are changed by heating and/or pressure. From this, you can see that sedimentary rocks are the most likely to contain fossils, although metamorphic rocks also can contain fossils. Any sedimentary rock can contain fossils, but some make fossil hunting easier. Shales and mudstones are particularly good; chalk is pretty much entirely made of fossils - it's formed of skeletons of small organisms, but its difficult to see the individual fossils.
