If you were looking for fossils in the rocks around your home and the rock type that was closest to your home was metamorphic, do you think that you would find many fossils? Explain

No, I wouldn't find fossils at all because metamorphic rocks have been under extreme temperature and pressure, and have been stretched and deformed throughout time. These conditions are not favorable for fossils.
