Not usually, unless it was buried after forming. Pumice is formed during volcanic eruptions from material that is blasted into the air before falling back to earth.

Would you find a fossil in a pumice rock?

No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, not in pumice rocks. Pumice is an igneous rock that forms from volcanic activity and is too porous and even too young to preserve fossils.


Where can you find pumice geode?

Pumice geodes are typically found in volcanic regions where pumice is present, such as areas with active or former volcanic activity. Geode shops, rock and mineral shows, and online retailers specializing in geological specimens may also carry pumice geodes for sale.

Do certain rocks float on water?

Pumice, a volcanic rock that is like a silicate version of Styrofoam, will float on water, if it is of high enough air content (some pumice is, some is not). Pumice rock is ground up and added to cleansers and some soaps (Lava) as a scrubbing agent.


What metamorphic rock can float?

Pumice.


What type of rock is pumice?

It is an igneous (volcanic rock).


Is pumice a metamorphic rock?

No, pumice is not a metamorphic rock. It is actually a type of igneous rock that forms from volcanic eruptions when frothy lava cools rapidly and traps gas bubbles inside, resulting in its characteristic porous texture. Metamorphic rocks are formed through the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure.


Does pumice rock turn into granite after its process?

no pumice rock does not turn into granite.


Is pumice found in the US?

Yes, pumice can be found in the US, mainly in western states with active volcanic activity such as Oregon, California, and Nevada. Pumice is a lightweight volcanic rock formed from frothy lava with trapped gas bubbles.
