do minerals contain fossils
Fossils are generally found in sedimentary rock. This occurs because the remains of plants and animals tend to accumulate with the inorganic debris that form such rock. In rare instances, fossils can form in igneous rock, as when volcanic ash or lava congeals around a leaf or insect wing, or fills a footprint.xposed rock is the collector's fruitful ground. Many interesting minerals and fossils can be found on weathered slopes, riverbanks, and cliff faces. Human-made excavations such as road cuts and construction or quarry sites can be excellent sites for mineral hunting.
