Q. In which type of rock are fossils typically found?
Answer: Sedimentary rock
Notes: Fossils typically form in sedimentary rocks. When an organism dies and gets buried in sediments, these sediments eventually harden into sedimentary rock with the organism preserved as a fossil. This process is called fossilization. Igneous and metamorphic rocks are formed from heat or pressure and are likely to destroy the fossils.
