Fossils are remains or impressions of living organisms and they are found in the sediments in or near where they lived.
Living organisms cannot live in a molten magma which cools to become an igneous rock.
Metamorphic rocks used to be sedimentary and igneous rocks but they were buried very deep under mountains and any traces of fossils in the sedimentary layers have been removed by the heat and pressure which altered the rock.

Why do insects live under rocks?
Insects may live under rocks to seek shelter from predators, extreme temperatures, and sunlight. These environments can provide protection and moisture, as well as a suitable habitat for feeding and reproduction.
When were the 1st reptiles discovered?
Snakes evolved from lizard like reptiles. The fossil record of snakes is relatively poor because they are small and fragile but they first appear in the fossil record during the Cretaceous period (between 112 and 94 million years ago), with the earliest known snake fossils coming from Utah and Algeria. These early fossils are from the genera Coniophis and Lapparentophis.
Molds filled with sediments sometimes produce?
fossils. When an organism dies in sediment-filled molds, its shape may become preserved and hardened over time, creating a fossil replica of the original organism.
Did vampires ever keep humans as pets?
no, or there would of been fossils dug up by paleontologists nobody know if vampire existed or not but the book i read say that vampire do not want human to see them.
Why dont we know what many ancient plants look like?
Many ancient plants did not have the same preservation conditions as animals like dinosaurs, making it difficult to find well-preserved plant fossils. Additionally, plants are more delicate and decay faster than animals, making their fossilization less common. The lack of plant fossils also contributes to our limited understanding of ancient plant species and their appearance.
Are fossils preserved in metamorphic rocks?
NO.......well it might but i dont really know!!
How metmorphic rock form?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks which have changed from one form to another due to intense heat or pressure. Any rock (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous) can be changed into a metamorphic rock.
Can metamorphic rocks be sedimentary or igneous rocks?
there are several ways such as heat & pressure, melting, chemical weathering, compression, compaction & cementation, but it depends on the kind of rock it is for what process it has to go through. -Cutegirl99
Why can't fossils form in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
because metamorphic rock is formed through a combination of extremely high heat and pressure which would destroy any fossils in it and igneous rock is formed through extremely high heats which would also most likely destroy fossils.
Why are fossils found in sedimenta rocks but no in igneous or metamorphic rock?
there arnt any rocks in metamorphic because they would be destroyed by whatver made the rock, the igneous rock is made from lava/magma when it hardens so any fossil structure would burn or disintegrate before the rock even solidified, the sedimentary rock is covered by more layers of dust or dirt or rock after the remains (fossil)is there many times the remains dont survive becoming fossils even sedimentary rock because of the pressure or erosion.
Why aren't fossils found in ingenious rocks?
because they are rocks and fossils dont belong in rocks and fossils can be made things an rocks cant :(...
What are the 6 igneous rocks?
i dont know what that is
Why are some igneous rocks dark and why are some dark?
i dont no
How are the 3 types of rocks alike?
there all rocks igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary Rock
How do you classify igneous rocks?
Look at them. There shape, size, color and feel! Dont worry you will figure it out....
How can fossils be uesed to compare the ages of different rocks?
i dont know do i
What are the Metamorphic Rocks that have no layers and are massively crystalline called?
I dont know dude.
