Answer:
Fossils are primarily found in sedimentary rocks because these rocks form at low temperatures and pressures. Igneous rocks form at temperatures and pressures that are high enough to destroy any organic remains. On rare occasions, fossils are found in metamorphic rocks, but they are deformed by the heat and pressure.

Answer:
Almost all fossils are preserved in sedimentary rock. Organisms that live in topographically low places (such as lakes or ocean basins) have the best chance of being preserved. This is because they are already in locations where sediment is likely to bury them and shelter them from scavengers and decay.
