If you're lucky, and the geology is right, you sure can. You're looking for sedimentary rock, like limestone, although interesting fossils can also be found in sands and gravels exposed by running water. Most people are not lucky enough to have fossils literally in their backyards, but fossils are common enough that one would suspect that most people are living within reasonable driving distance of a good locality. Even volcanic islands like Hawaii can have fossils. Fossils can even be found in large cities; look for excavation sites, armor stone along rivers, or the stone used in buildings.


When do most fossils form?

Fossils form when something dies and it decays over theyears. Thenall you see are the bones. Like dinosaurs bones!
