Answer: They usually look for Sedimentary rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most fossils "hide out" in sedimentary rock . When tiny bits of rocks and minerals (called sediment) join together over millions of years, they become sedimentary rock. Plants and animals that become sandwiched in this sediment eventually turn into fossils.

Answer:

Sedimentary Rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not every type of rock contains fossils so paleontologists focus their discovery on areas with the type of rock most likely to contain them like said sedimentary rock.

- hope you have a nice day :)
