Which of the following rocks would most likely contain a fossil?

marble
basalt
granite
limestone

The correct answer is - limestone.

The limestone is a type of rock where fossil findings are very common. All of the limestone variations can contain fossils, from micro-size to macro-size. The limestone is which there is fossils is referred to as fossiliferuos limestone.

The reason why there's an abundance of fossils in the calcium carbonate, that forms the limestone, is because it is a very porous rock, with relatively weak molecular bonds, so it is very easy for it to merge with a fossil, or vice versa.

sediment layers stop spreading when they reach a barrier or they run out of sedimentary material. lateral spreading is the movement of gently to steeply sloping, saturated soil deposits caused by earthquake-induced liquefaction. i hope this . : )
