Where Can Fossils Be Found?
Knowing where to find fossils is part of the work of paleontologists. These scientists study fossils through knowledge of geology and biology. Amateurs also hunt for fossils as a hobby, collecting specific types of fossils or fossils in general. Whether amateur or professional, finding fossils is just as much an art as it is a science. Rocks that contain an abundance of fossils in one location may not hold any in another.
