Where are fossils found?

Paleontologists find fossils of many different plants and animals all over the world.

You don't have to be a palenotologist to find a fossil. You can find one too! Next time you see a stone, look at it carefully. It may be a fossil of something that once lived.

Remember the dinosaurs we learned about? The map below shows where scientists have found fossils of those dinosaurs around the world.
