Fossils are found nearly exclusively in sedimentary rock because these rocks form from the accumulation of sediment, which can include organic materials and remains of living organisms. The conditions in sedimentary environments, such as riverbeds, lakes, and ocean floors, facilitate the burial and preservation of these remains, protecting them from decay and destruction. In contrast, igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed under conditions that typically destroy fossils due to high heat and pressure. Thus, sedimentary rocks provide the ideal setting for fossilization.
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.

Sedimentary
Igneous rocks.
Sedimentary rocks are the type in which fossils are most commonly found. This is because they are formed from layers of sediment, which can entomb and preserve the remains of plants and animals over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks where fossils can be found include limestone, sandstone, and shale.
Fossils are nearly always found in some type of sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock which very commonly contains fossils, as is coal.
Nearly all fossils are found in sedimentary rock.

Not necessarily. While nearly all fossils, including seashells, are found in sedimentary rock, most sedimentary rock does not contain fossils. Even then, those fossils will not necessarily be seashells. If you do find a rock with seashells, though, you can be pretty much guaranteed that it is sedimentary.
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
No. In general, there are no fossils in igneous or metamorphic rocks, because the high heat and pressure involved would destroy any fossils. Fossils are almost always found in sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary
Yes.
Amber.
yes
Some fossils are found in the sedimentary rocks - along with shells and sediment.
