Does gneiss have fossils?
No, it's an igneous rock, made from cooling and consequently solidification of a magma. Animals (or any other organism) capable of leaving behind a fossil can not survive and do not live in a magma. Fossils can be found in sedimentary rocks or in metamorphic rocks (if the protolith, the original rock, was sedimentary). In metamorphic rocks, fossils are generally intensely deformed and hence difficult to recognise/identify.
