What products are made from lava?
Lava makes many rocks that are very fertile with minerals that plants need, and the land around volcanoes is rich and fertile and is very good to be used for farming. Lava rocks (extrusive igneous rocks) make useful road building materials as aggregates, and can be cut and polished for use as a decorative stone inside buildings. Pumice is used as landscaping rock and as an abrasive in cleaning products and some polishing compounds. In less recent history, lava rocks were used as building materials, grinding stones, toolmaking, and weapon construction.
What do rocks contain that are so good for the soil?
Rocks contain several nutrients including potassium, magnesium, and iron. Pumice stones, which are best for the soil, also contain copper, calcium, and manganese which enrich the soil. Igneous rocks are able to hold in moisture that is beneficial to the soil and releases it as needed.

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.
