Question
which rock type is most likely to contain fossils?
igneous
plutonic
metamorphic
sedimentary
Brief Explanations
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments. Fossils are often preserved in these sediments as they build - up over time. Igneous rocks form from the cooling of magma or lava and high temperatures destroy organic material. Plutonic rocks are a type of igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre - existing rocks under high pressure and temperature, which also tend to destroy fossils.
