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.
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.
Sedimentary rock, its rarely found in metamorphic and never found in igneous rock because it would make the fossil of the animal worped and changed. It wouldn't be with the original form on metamorphic and igneous would destroy the whole fossil.
Sedimentary Rock. Strata is layers of sedimentary rock that form from the deposition of sediment.
fossils almost allways occur in sedementary rock. this is the only way to get fossils without burning or cruching the fossil. you sometimes get fossils in igneous rock, but this is very rare. igneous rock fossils do not have any actual "fossils" in them, they are just impressions.
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
because sedimentary rocks are on the top layer, while igneous rocks are were the magma is
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. :)

FOSSILS.
Igneous rocks.
Sedimentary rock melts, then it cools to form Igneous rock. Hoped this helped. :)

No. Fossils are only found in sedimentary rocks, and granite is an igneous rock.
