Sedimentary rocks are the result of igneous rocks breaking down. This is a slow process so there is not as much broken down as there is not broken down.

Explanation:

Because sedimentary rocks are made of minerals deposited in layers at earth's surface. The processes, temperatures, and pressures that make other rocks damage or deflate any fossils in them.
