Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma (molten rock), In environments that cause magma creation, there are no organisms to fossilize. Once magma reaches the surface (lava), contact with organisms usually results in their destruction. Rarely, their is fossil evidences of large trees being recorded in a lava flow, but this is the exception to the rule rather than the norm.
