Hawaiian fossils are relatively rare due to the islands' young geological age and their volcanic origin, which means much of the landscape is still being shaped. While there are some fossils, particularly of marine life and certain land organisms, they are not as abundant as in older, more stable geological regions. Additionally, the isolation of the islands limits the diversity of fossilized remains. Overall, while you might find some Hawaiian fossils, they are not plentiful.

Can we expect to find many Hawaiian fossils on Hawaiian islands?

Hawaiian islands are relatively young in geological terms, formed by volcanic activity, which limits the presence of ancient fossils. While some fossils of marine organisms can be found in sedimentary deposits, terrestrial fossils are rare due to the islands' isolation and the rapid erosion of older rock layers. Additionally, the unique ecosystems of Hawaii often lead to rapid evolution, resulting in a predominance of endemic species rather than a diverse fossil record. Therefore, while some fossils exist, they are not abundant compared to older landmasses.

Why wouldn't expect to find human fossils and dinosaur fossils together in rocks dated similarly?

Because that can change the WHOLE theory of dinosaurs. It also means that a human either went back in time or lived with the dinosaurs thats why you wouldn't expect it.
