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.
Though a majority of the taxa listed below lived during the latest early Campanian (c. 80.5 million years ago; fossils from the site Ivö Klack alone from this time compromise about 40 vertebrate species and more than 200 invertebrate species), [1] the Kristianstad Basin preserves fossils ranging in age from the early Santonian (c. 86.3 million ...
The oldest fossils found in Iceland are from the Miocene, about 15 mya, and are plant remains. In addition to plant remains, fossilized remains of insects from the Miocene and Pliocene have been found. [1] Miocene and Pliocene fossil sites are found mainly in the West of Iceland and the Westfjords.
A living fossil is a deprecated term for an extant taxon that phenotypically resembles related species known only from the fossil record. To be considered a living fossil, the fossil species must be old relative to the time of origin of the extant clade. Living fossils commonly are of species-poor lineages, but they need not be.
Dinosaurs that lived in the Ross Dependency, a part of Antarctica within the Realm of New Zealand, include the tetanuran Cryolophosaurus.The Ross Dependency, unlike the Chatham Islands, is not actually part of New Zealand, and this is why it is excluded from the list above until sufficient evidence shows that it entered what was the sector of Gondwana that is now New Zealand.
The oldest of the Hawaiian islands is a little more than 5 million years old, [1] and the Paleobiology Database records no known occurrences of Precambrian, Paleozoic, or Mesozoic fossils in Hawaii. Cenozoic
