Answer 1

Answer:

Kentucky

Explanation:

Limestone is a sedimentary rock which forms from the calcareous remains of dead organisms. Most limestones are made of shells and tests of organisms that have accumulated over a long period of time. These make limestones fossilized.

Granite is an igneous rock that forms from the solidification of magma within the earth crust. Due to the high temperature of magma, extreme conditions of the interior of the earth where magma is sourced and other unfavourable geologic conditions, igneous rocks do not contain fossils. They would easily be destroyed.
