Question

Why do you think that fossils occur only in sedimentary rocks?

✓

Answer

Sedimentary rocks are formed by solidification of sediments. The sediments when transported by running water or wind carry the remains of plants and animals that come their way. These are sandwiched between the layers of the sedimentary rocks when solidified and become fossils.
