Jharkhand PSC Prelim Exam 15-Dec-2013 Solved Paper

Granite is an igneous rock composed of mostly two minerals: quartz and feldspar. It is an intrusive rock, meaning that it crystallized from magma that cooled far below the Earth's surface. Most scientists will say it is very unlikely for fossils of any kind of be found in granite because granite forms at great depths, under conditions that would obliterate organic tissue. It is possible for the native sedimentary rock possessing fossils to be introduced to magma.
