Fossils are most commonly found in sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments over time, which can preserve organic material. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre - existing rocks under high pressure and temperature, which usually destroy fossils. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, and they do not preserve fossils well as the high temperatures would destroy organic remains.
