Why are fossils often found in sedimentary rocks?
[#REDIRECT [link title]]Igneous rock forms from magma therefore no chances of fossils to form there.Metamorphic rocks that are formed by heat and pressure are other rock types .Their transformation and reorganisation causes very few fossils to be found there.Sedimentary rocks can be formed from the accumulation of sediments and are often formed near sea shores and lake beds.sometimes the remains of plants and animals,called fossils,are covered by sediments and become a part of the sedimentary rock .
