I live in Alberta Canada, prairies and foothills and further west the Rocky Mountains. On certain areas of the prairies is prime fossil country. You can find fossils of animals all over the place, on the surface of the ground. even in our city limits there are fossils of sea life and plants all on the surface and on rocks brought down from the glaciers. Some years ago a kid found fossil dinosaur eggs, I believe near a river. I don't understand why these are not buried deep. We also use to be a tropical forest, millions of years ago, fossil records prove that. I learned all about that in school and field trips to these places. Maybe the glaciers carved out the ground to expose them, but they were not very deep to begin with. Over time I started to question how animals and plants were found so deep in the earth to become fossil fuels. I still have a problem with that.
