Fossils are usually found in sedimentary rocks, not metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, not directly from chemical weathering. All rocks in the lithosphere, including extrusive igneous rocks, are subject to weathering. Igneous rocks indeed form from the cooling and crystallization of magma.
