No. Trilobytes are the oldest fossils ever found. They are the reason the theory of evolution is still only a theory.

Location . On what continent was the earliest fossil evidence of humans found?

The oldest fossils of early hominids have been found in AFRICA. (most common place for hominids to live in the Paleolithic. Mesolithic, and Neolithic Stone Age periods) The Gauteng (aka Cradle of Human-kind) province has findings of most of the findings in the world. Sterkfontein, a series of limestone caves in Africa, is the area where more than 1/3 of the oldest hominid fossils were discovered. Also in 2001, a group of French people found what they believe to be the remains of the earliest human, Toumai, aged around 7 million years old, in the Chadian Desert of Africa. The debate surrounding this had yet to be resolved.


Where would you most likely find fossil bearing rocks?

The most likely place would be at a limestone or dolostone rock quarry. However, fossils can be found in an abundance of places. Fossils are common in landscaping gravels, or anywhere mixed rocks are found.
