Best Answer

Fossils can be found anywhere. They're found on every continent except Antarctica, but they can be found in the ocean floor under Antarctica. Rarely you'll find them frozen in the ice, but there's a very low chance you will. You'll have a slightly larger chance if you go further inland (in ice?), because that part of antarctica almost never defrosts. But of course the correct answer is that they are not found in a specific place, they are found everywhere.

Pretty much anywhere in the world. You can find them wherever there are sedimentary rocks, for example, because as the sediments from the water settled out, they turned to rock around whatever was mixed in with them (like fish or other animals). You can also find them wherever there were trees, because trees become petrified if conditions are right. Fossilized tree sap is also called amber. You can even find fossils trapped in tar pits or salt deposits.
