Question

what type of rock are fossils usually found in?
sedimentary
igneous
metamorphic

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments. Fossils are often preserved in these rocks because the processes (like burial of organisms under sediments) that form sedimentary rocks are conducive to fossil preservation. Igneous rocks form from molten magma/lava, and the high temperatures would destroy most fossils. Metamorphic rocks form under high - pressure and high - temperature conditions (from pre - existing rocks), which also tend to destroy fossil structures.

Answer:

Sedimentary
