Igneous rock is cooled Magma. Organic material is vaporized at that heat. Fossils are readily fornd in sedimentary rock where the organic material is covered under layers of silt which, through time and pressure, forms into sedimentary rock.
No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks rather than igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, making them more likely to preserve fossils due to their layered nature. Igneous rocks, on the other hand, form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock and are less likely to contain fossils.
There is currently no confirmed evidence of fossils on Mars. Sedimentary rocks are usually associated with the formation and preservation of fossils on Earth, so if fossils were to be found on Mars, they would likely be in sedimentary rocks.
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
Probably because both igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed by means other that don't allow for fossils to be preserved.For example, igneous rocks iare made of cooled magma and the only way a fossil would emerge would be through falling into the magma and not melting.
It is conceivable that a fossil could be found among sedimentary rock crystals, and some dead organisms have actually been replaced by minerals which are composed of crystals. Fossils in gems and crystals from metamorphic or igneous processes--no.
Igneous rock forms from magma or lava. It would be unlikely an organism's remains would survive partially or intact upon exposure to such conditions.

This is because igneous and metamorphic rocks are created under extreme heat and pressure, and very few fossils would survive those conditions. The most common forms of fossils are those found in sedimentary rocks.
If you mean an intrusion via magma/lava, then fossils would not exist due to the fact that most fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock, not IGNEOUS (magma/lava rocks).

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.
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
The youngest rocks would be igneous, those created by cooling magma. Impossible to find a fossil there.
Yes, but only "Mold" type fossils, that is fossils that are an impression of the original object. Examples can be found at Lava Tree natural park in Hawaii. In this case there are trees that are surrounded by lava that burns away the tree within while leaving a hollow impression of the tree. There are multiple examples of fossilized remains found in various ash based Tuffs, specific examples are Pompeii and Herculanium the voids found in the ash flow, multiple fossilized footprints.
FOSSILS.
Granite and basalt are both igneous rocks - they are formed from magma extruded into another rock layer or from expulsion from a volcano. The heat of the cooling rock would completely melt any fossils they came into contact with and destroy them, so you don't see fossils in these rocks.
