Another term, "zone fossil", is used when the fossil has all the characters stated above except wide geographical distribution; thus, they correlate the surrounding rock to a biozone rather than a specific time period.
Republic, Washington, area fossils were first reported by Joseph Umpleby (1910), based on fish he collected near the Tom Thumb mine, and given a tentative late Miocene age. [12] Two of the fish were figured and briefly mentioned 7 years later by Charles R. Eastman , who assigned them tentatively to "Amyzon" brevipinne , making one of the early ...

The Burgess Shale is a fossil-bearing deposit exposed in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is famous for the exceptional preservation of the soft parts of its fossils. At 508 million years old ( middle Cambrian ), [ 4 ] it is one of the earliest fossil beds containing soft-part imprints.
This list of fossil sites is a worldwide list of localities known well for the presence of fossils. Some entries in this list are notable for a single, unique find, while others are notable for the large number of fossils found there. Many of the entries in this list are considered Lagerstätten (sedimentary deposits
