Geologists are most likely to find evidence of past life forms in **sedimentary rocks**. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which can include fossils and other organic materials. Volcanic rocks and igneous rocks typically form from molten material and do not usually contain fossils, while metamorphic rocks transform existing rocks and might destroy any fossil evidence present in the original rock.
