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.
The black limestone of Isle La Motte takes a polish, revealing the white "bird's-eye" [4] markings of embedded fossil shells, notably the spirals formed by sliced gastropod shells. Rock of the Chazy Formation was quarried from the nineteenth century at the Fisk Quarry, Isle La Motte, the oldest quarry in Vermont . [ 5 ]

[ 3 ] [ 4 ] In the mid-1980s, the site quickly became recognized as an important location containing possibly the oldest metazoan fossils in North ...
A large number of geological and geochemical methods have been applied to the rocks of the Isua Greenstone Belt. These include subdivision of the various lithologies and units within the belt using a combination of geological mapping and U-Pb zircon dating, typically using sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP), analyses; [3] major and trace element chemistry; [11] [12] structural ...
The Wichita Group contains some of the richest fossil deposits in the red beds, including the Geraldine Bonebed in Archer County. [12] The Pease River Group is the most recent deposition, occurring during the Guadalupian epoch. [12] The Clear Fork Group is in between the other two, being deposited during the Kungurian age. [1]

[1] [2] Only 3–4 centimeters thick, Beecher's Trilobite Bed has yielded numerous exceptionally preserved trilobites with the ventral anatomy and soft tissue intact, the soft tissue preserved by pyrite replacement.
A number of fossils were collected in Greenland, mostly on the east coast, from Paleozoic to Holocene, from which the Devonian Acanthostega and Ichthyostega are examples of international relevance. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The Late Triassic of Jameson Land is particularly relevant due to the finding of early mammals, found in the expeditions of Farish Jenkins .
