Where can fossils be found? A The inner core of the Earth B In the bark of old trees C The atmosphere D In different layers of rock

Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rock formations, which require specific conditions to form—like the burial of plants and animals under layers of sediment over millions of years. This makes them often located in riverbanks, cliffs, or areas previously covered by oceans. Talking about exciting fossil digs, places like the Burgess Shale in Canada or the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles are hotspots for paleontologists! If you're interested in searching for fossils yourself, many public lands and beaches allow amateur fossil hunting. Just remember to check local regulations first! Also, try looking through old rock quarries or places where road work has recently exposed new layers of earth. The thrill of uncovering a piece of history can make you feel like a real-life Indiana Jones!
