What are 2 types of rock which generally lack fossils?
Types of rock that normally lack fossils are metamorphic rocks (formed from sedimentary rock under heat and pressure), and igneous rocks (the result of molten or volcanic rock that later cooled). The scarcity of fossils in these rocks are due to the harsh manner in which they form, which usually destroys or severely deforms any remains of living things. ChaCha!
