Question

1 multiple choice 1 point in which type of rock are most fossils found? clastic sedimentary foliated metamorphic extrusive igneous intrusive igneous

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Fossils form in environments where organisms are buried and sediment accumulates, which is typical of sedimentary rock formation. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment (like sand, mud) that can preserve organic remains. Metamorphic rocks (foliated) form under heat/pressure that would destroy fossils, and igneous rocks (extrusive/intrusive) form from molten material, which doesn't preserve fossils. So most fossils are in clastic sedimentary rocks.

Answer:

A. Clastic Sedimentary
