Question
task 3: fossils
fossils are more likely to be found in...
igneous rock
metamorphic rock
sedimentary rock
all of the above
Sedimentary rock is formed from sediment accumulation, often preserving fossils. Igneous rock forms from magma/lava, which destroys organic matter. Metamorphic rock forms under high - heat/pressure, altering fossils. But in rare cases, fossils can be found in altered forms in metamorphic or igneous rocks (e.g., xenoliths in igneous rocks with fossil - bearing sedimentary fragments). However, sedimentary rock is the primary and most common type for fossil preservation.
