Step-by-step explanation:
The reason for this phenomenon is the due to the condition by which each type of rocks form.
A sedimentary rock is formed by the compaction and lithification of sediments within a basin.
A metamorphic rock forms under high temperature and pressure conditions which alters the minerology of a rock.
- Based on these conditions, the metamorphic rock cannot host any fossil.
- Any relics of fossils would be destroyed at such elevated pressure and temperature conditions.
- This is not so in a sedimentary rock because the conditions are similar to that which can preserve organic matter.
