Answer 1

Answer:

Fossils, the preserved remains of animal and plant life, are mostly found embedded in sedimentary rocks. Of the sedimentary rocks, most fossils occur in shale, limestone and sandstone. Earth contains three types of rocks: metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary.

Answer 2

The rocks which contain fossils and plant remains:

• Fossils are majorly found in sedimentary rocks. From the three major types of rocks, sedimentary rocks are the ones which contain fossils and plant remains.
• Plant remains generally turn into fossils under high temperature and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed under conditions which do not destroy the remains in the rock and hence fossils are formed.
• Fossils are very important in determining the life forms which were present on the Earth before us.
• Palaeontologists are people who study fossils and their importance to us. To understand ancient environment and civilizations, it is important to maintain fossils and not destroy them.
• They are very useful to us.
