In most cases yes. Portions of slow moving rivers, or where sediments that were carried in currents came to a rest, intact fossils can be cemented among the stones.

What type of rock would most likely have seashells in it a sedimentary rock a igneous rock a conglomerate rock or a metamorphic rock?

Firstly you must know that a conglomerate is a sedimentary rock. Only a sedimentary rock could have shells in it, and only limestone. Other rocks contain fossils like shells but only limestone can form them as the impression is filled by calcite, which collectively forms limestone.


Why are fossils more likely to be formed in shale and sandstone than in conglomerate?

Shale and sandstone are fine-grained sedimentary rocks that compact well to preserve fossils due to their low porosity and permeability. Conglomerate, being a coarse-grained rock with larger particles and higher porosity, tends to have more spaces for organic material to decompose or be destroyed before preservation can occur.

Which type of rock igneous or metamorphic contains fossils?

Metamorphic rocks do not typically contain fossils, as the intense heat and pressure involved in their formation often destroy any remnants of organic matter. Igneous rocks are formed from molten material and do not contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation and compression of sediments, are the type of rock that commonly contain fossils.
