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.

What are the types of rock that contain fossils?

Sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, sandstone, and shale, are the most common types of rocks that contain fossils. Fossils are formed when the remains of plants and animals are buried in sediment and eventually become preserved in rock over time. Igneous and metamorphic rocks typically do not contain fossils.


Sedimentary rocks that formed organically typically contain what?

Which type of rock may contain fossil?

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.
