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, Gypsum
Carbonates:
Limestone, Fossiliferous Limestone
Siliceous Rocks: Chert
Organic Sedimentary Rocks: Coal.
The rocks listed in BOLD will likely be found with fossils.
