Yes, even at the top of Mount Everest.
The sediments that make up the rock containing the fossils started at the bottom of an ocean.
In the case of the Himalayas, when India collided with Asia through the action of plate tectonics, the ocean sediments between the continents were uplifted and squeezed into the mountain belt we see today, taking the fossils with it.
What else can I help you with?
How did fossils end up on the tops of mountains?
Marine fossils form when creatures die and sink to the bottom where there is little oxygen, and are covered with sediment. If sediment continues to accumulate, after many years its weight will crush the deposit, and in combination with well known chemical processes, can cement it into sandstone. Later, if the sea floor it lifted by any of a number of (again, well understood) geological processes, what was once the sea floor can become part of a mountain. Such a mountain can form in a few million years, where fossils have been forming for 3 BILLION years.
Is everywhere along the equator warm?
No. There are mountain tops on the equator that are not warm.
What are the high part of the crust?
The mountain tops are the high part of the Earth's crust.
Why mountain tops are affected more by the acid rain than the lower plains?
There is no indication that mountain tops are more affected by acid rain thean the lower areas. If the mountain is sufficiently high (like the Rockies) the top is barren rock with no plant or animal life to be harmed. Mountain tops, given their more vertical nature, have few lakes to harbour fish so no harm to fish occurs. Many mountains are made of non-carbonate rocks do even the chemical reaction of acid rain is minimal.
Does the presence of marine fossils on mountain tops confirm that Noah's Deluge really happened?
No. Marine fossils are formed when marine creatures die and their bodies fall to the bottom of the sea, where they become covered in silt which eventually hardens into rock. If there ever was a great flood that could cover high mountains, any marine creatures that died would still fall to the bottom of the sea - not up to a mountain top. Nor would they form a scientifically correct geologically column on the mountain, with older species at the bottom of the column and more modern species at the top of the column. The presence of marine fossils on a mountain top merely shows that the mountain is of recent origin, having been uplifted by geological forces perhaps only a few million years ago. Prior to the uplift, the mountain formed part of the sea bed. Further, such a flood would not create fossils. Fossils most often form at the bottom of bodies of water were there is little oxygen and where they are repeatedly silted over and protected from mechanical damage. If a flood reached into the mountains, it certainly would not leave deep sediments there, so any marine creatures left behind would be eaten and scattered to the winds. And such fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock, usually formed when layers of silt are laid down again and again over many years until they are crushed into rock by the pressure. A biblical flood could not create such rock. At best, it might leave a few pools of mud that might hold a few skeletons--but again, these would not become entombed in sandstone, nor fossilized.
What accounts for the presence of marine fossils on mountain tops?
There was water there!!
What kind of biomes are found at the tops of the high mountain?
alpine biomes
When was Runner of the Mountain Tops created?
Runner of the Mountain Tops was created in 1939.
What is a flattop mountain called?
A flattop mountain is called a mesa. Mesas are elevated landforms with flat tops and steep sides, often found in arid regions.
Do snakes inhabit mountain tops?
No,

Which place has the least floodings?
Mountain tops.
What causes mountain tops to be pointed or smooth?
Mountain tops can be pointed or smooth depending on the type of rock and the erosion processes that have occurred. Pointed mountain tops are often formed by resistant rocks like granite that erode slowly, while smooth mountain tops can be the result of softer rocks that erode more quickly. Glaciers, wind, and water erosion can also contribute to shaping the tops of mountains.
Where does the pygmy possum live?
Mountain Pygmy possums live in the tops of mountains in the Victorian Alps. They can also be found in Mt kosiosko and in Papa New Guinea
