Limestone often contains fossils. In which category would these rocks be classified?

• sedimentary

• igneous

• granite

• metamorphic

What are the traits of a metamorphic rock?

• There are many layers of sediment in the rock.

• The rock is transformed by heat and pressure.

• The rock often has layer upon layer compacted together.
