Sedimentary rocks are the most likely type of rocks to contain fossils. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms, such as plants or animals, and sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of mineral and organic particles. Examples of sedimentary rocks that commonly contain fossils include limestone, shale, and sandstone.
