Why are fish fossils found in deserts?

Fish fossils are found in deserts because these regions were once covered by water bodies, such as oceans or lakes, where the fish lived. Over time, geological processes, such as tectonic movements or changes in sea level, caused these areas to dry up and become deserts. The fish fossils get preserved in the sediments that accumulate over millions of years, eventually becoming exposed through erosion.


Where do fossils live?
