What type of rock are fossils found in? @JackofallTradez
First, name the three types of rocks. Then I'll take you step by step through why some rocks have fossils, and other do not. Deal? :P
ok
Do you know the three types of rocks?
igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary
right?
Right! Now, you know how each one is formed, right?
yes
Ok, easiest way to do this: out of those three rock types, which one does not require heat to form?
sedimentary?
Yep! Since it is highly unlikely for fossils to form and stay intact heat and/or pressure, sedimentary is the most typical rock type fossils are found in :D
yay!! can we answer the questions quicker next time please because i have to go somewhere in like 1 hour?
OK, no more beating around the bush, then :)
ok :)
You ready? I am :P
me too :)
