Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bed of a former shallow sea is most likely to be rich in fossils as it was the place where many marine organisms lived and died, leaving their remains behind in sedimentary rock layers. Eroding hillsides and rocky plateaus may also contain fossils, but they are more likely to have been disturbed and the fossils may have been destroyed or eroded away. Deserts and polar ice caps are not likely to be rich in fossils as they are not conducive to the formation and preservation of fossils.
