Fossils are the remains of an animal that have been preserved in rock. This process is called fossilization. They are commonly found all over the world, but many fossils are found where ancient seas that have dried up, like the Badlands. Other fossils are found where an animal died and was eventually buried under fossilized dirt, mud, or even sand. any creature with an exoskeleton or endoskeleton can be fossilized. But most creatures in the Precambrian and Archean Periods were not fossilized because of their lack of a skeleton. Jellyfish will also just dissolve when dead.

Can you see fossils and petroleum deposit in same geographical regions?

The answer to this question would be yes, they could be found in the same geographical regions. Fossils can be found anywhere in the world, in many different forms. They can be bones that were preserved underground or imprints left in rocks that show organisms that died ages ago. Petroleum deposits may not be as commonly found throughout the world, but while it may not be found everywhere fossils are, fossils can definitely be found anywhere petroleum might be found.
