The study of fossils in different aged rocks showed that most fossils exist in sedimentary rocks.
- The reason why most fossils exist in sedimentary rocks is that sedimentary rocks have the most ideal conditions for the preservation of fossils as a layer of sediments covers the dead plants and animals and helps in their preservation by protecting them from being damaged by weather or animals.
- Igneous rocks being very hot are unsuitable for the preservation of fossils.
