Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Reason for sedimentary rocks to be the only rock type to contain fossils: The dead plants and animals, where they are buried by more sediment results in the accumulation of minerals from water in bones which leads to formation of fossils. This makes sedimentary rocks the only rock type to contain fossils.
Detailed explanation-2: -With time and pressure, these sediments, such as sand, plant debris, or ash, become compressed into rock. Therefore, fossils are found in sedimentary rock, like sandstone, shale, limestone and coal.
