Earth contains three types of rocks: metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary. With rare exceptions, metamorphic and igneous rocks undergo too much heat and pressure to preserve fossils. So most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks, where gentler pressure and lower temperature allows preservation of past life-forms.
