What Sedimentary rocks are the only rocks that can potentially contain?
fossils
Do igneous rocks usually contain fossils?
Igneous rocks are formed from cooling and solidifying of molten rock, so they usually do not contain fossils. This is because fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation of sediment and organic materials, preserving the remains of plants and animals.
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
What do sedimentary rocks contain?
Sedimentary rocks contain particles of minerals, organic material, and fragments of pre-existing rocks, which have been compacted and cemented together over time. These rocks often include fossils and can be categorized into three main types: clastic, chemical, and organic sedimentary rocks.
Why can’t fossils be formed in metamorphic rock and only in sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks as they cool?

What Sedimentary rocks are the only rocks that can potentially contain?
fossils
Sedimentary rocks are the only rocks that can potentially contain what?
Fossils. Fossils are traces or remains of ancient organisms that are often found preserved in sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the deposition and solidification of sediment over time, providing an ideal environment for the preservation of fossils.
Do igneous rocks usually contain fossils?
Igneous rocks are formed from cooling and solidifying of molten rock, so they usually do not contain fossils. This is because fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks, which form from the accumulation of sediment and organic materials, preserving the remains of plants and animals.
Fossils are found only in .?
Sedimentary rocks
Are fossils found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
What types of rocks contain fossils?
Igneous rocks and most metamorphic rocks, of an igneous origin.
Why are sedimentary rocks the only ones that contain fossils?
Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, which can entomb and preserve the remains of plants and animals as fossils. Igneous and metamorphic rocks form from molten material or intense heat and pressure, which would destroy any fossils present.
Is there any fossils of dinosaurs?
Of curse there are, they are mainly located in sedimentary rocks, the only rocks in which fossils can be found.
What do sedimentary rocks contain?
Sedimentary rocks contain particles of minerals, organic material, and fragments of pre-existing rocks, which have been compacted and cemented together over time. These rocks often include fossils and can be categorized into three main types: clastic, chemical, and organic sedimentary rocks.
What rock types would most likely contain fossil?
Sedimentary rock is the only type of rock that will contain fossils, but there are several types of sedimentary rock.Examples:Clastic Sedimentary Rocks (particles of silt and/or sand that cement together): Conglomerate, Breccia, Sandstone, Siltstone, Shale.Examples:Chemical Sedimentary Rocks (forms when mineral constituents become supersaturated and inorganically precipitate):Evaporates:Halite, GypsumCarbonates:Limestone, Fossiliferous LimestoneSiliceous Rocks: ChertOrganic Sedimentary Rocks: Coal.The rocks listed in BOLD will likely be found with fossils.

If you examine a rock sample and observe fossils in it what type of rock does the sample represent?
Fossils are only found in rocks that are laid down on the surface of the Earth. The majority of fossiliferous rocks are therefore sedimentary BUT fossils are also occasionally found in lava flows (igneous rocks) - eg lava trees and in some metamorphosed sedimentary rocks (metamorphic rocks) - eg the "delabole butterfly"
