Why do metamorphic rocks often contain fossils?
Some rocks are old.These sometimes have fossils.This is because the rocks used to be mud.When a inprint is made on the mud and does not get washed away the mud hardends the inprint stays.Years later the inprinted mud turns into a rock.If you get lucky and crack that rock open, the inprint is there.
Is it true that Fossils are frequently found in metamorphic rock?
No, fossils are typically not found in metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which can destroy any fossils present. Fossils are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks where the conditions for preservation are more favorable.
Why aren't fossils from metamorphic rocks useful?

Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.

Does igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks contain 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.

No, fossils are typically not found in metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure, which can destroy any fossils present. Fossils are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks where the conditions for preservation are more favorable.
What kinds of rocks do you not find fossils in and why?
Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks, because the intense heat and pressure destroys fossils.

Are fossils the most characteristic that is common to metamorphic rocks?
No, metamorphic rock is not conducive to preserving fossils because of the high pressures and temperatures it has been subjected to that destroys organic matter. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock.
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
In what type of rocks could you find fossils?
Fossils are principally found in sedimentary rocks and also in some metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Can you find broken fossils in metamorpic rocks?
yes you can find broken fossils in metamorphic rics
More often than metamorphic or igneous rocks sedimentary rocks have what?
Sedimentary rocks have numerous fossils
Why is it rare to fine fossils in metamorphic rocks?
Fossils abound in sedimentary rock, you are in fact very likely to find them there.
