Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils because, unlike most igneous and metamorphic rocks, they form at temperatures and pressures that do not destroy fossil remains. Dead organisms can become sediments which may, under the right conditions, become sedimentary rock.
Igneous rock forms from magma; no chance for fossils to form there. Metamorphic rocks are other rock types that are changed by heat and pressure; their transformation and mineral reorganization causes very few fossils to be found there. Sedimentary rock can be formed from the accumulation of sediments and are often formed near ancient shores, basins, and lake beds. If an organism dies and is covered by sediments before being rotted or eaten by predatory organisms, it could eventually become part of the sedimentary layer that becomes rock.

no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
They are mostly found in Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary
Sedimentary rock is when a fossil is found inside it.
No. They are usually found in sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock is where we look for fossils.
no, fossils are found only in sedimentary rock.
Fossils are nearly always found in some type of sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock which very commonly contains fossils, as is coal.
Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rock.
