Question

Why are fossils not found in igneous rock?

Answer 1

They are intrusive igneous rocks because they form from magma underground. Unlike sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks do not contain any fossils. This is because any fossils in the original rock will have melted when the magma formed.

Answer 2

Answer:

Igneous rocks are formed directly from lava or magma. Hence fossils are not found in igneous rock.

Explanation:

Fossils are the remnants or petrified remains of past lived organisms.

These are organic matter that are covered by sediments.

As igneous rocks are formed directly from lava in other words from magma from inner layers of earth so fossils are not found in igneous rocks.
