The state of New York was once submerged under an ocean. A glacier had moved over and melted in that area. The water eventually retreated, leaving behind all of the lakes, hills, mountains, and many other geographical features.

The trilobite species Eldredgeops rana is a common New York State index fossil found in Devonian rock layers. If a rock layer containing this index fossil is missing due to unconformity, it suggests a gap in the rock record where deposition ceased, erosion occurred, and then new sediment layers were deposited on top.
A phacops fossil is the preserved remains or trace of an extinct genus of trilobite, a group of marine arthropods that lived during the Paleozoic era. These fossils are typically found in ancient marine sediments and are characterized by their distinctive appearance, with segmented bodies, compound eyes, and a hard exoskeleton.
The fossil fuel found in greatest abundance in Virginia is coal. Virginia has large coal deposits that have been historically important in the state's economy.
Almost all monotreme fossils have been found in Australia. An exception is the fossil of a platypus-like creature named Monotrematus sudamericanum found in Argentina, within a Patagonian rock formation.
Coral. Fossil remains of coral have been found from long before the time of any mammals, let alone whales.
The New York fossil commonly refers to a well-preserved fossil specimen found in the state of New York, particularly from the famous fossil beds in the Hudson Valley or the Devonian-age deposits. These fossils often include a variety of marine organisms, such as trilobites, brachiopods, and coral, providing valuable insights into prehistoric life. The most notable site is the Helderberg Mountains, where significant paleontological discoveries have been made. Such fossils contribute to our understanding of Earth's geological history and the evolution of life.
Ever since people have been studying the sea they have basically known what coral is . . .
If it's never been found than we don't know about it.

No one knows what the first fossil found was - humans have been collecting the oddly shaped stones for thousands of years around the world. It has only been in the last couple of centuries that fossils have been recognized as the remains of ancient and extinct animals.

No dinosaurs have been found in Maine. The state fossil is Pertica, a plant from the Devonian.
Petrified fossil is an organism that has been converted into stone. Silica, iron and copper minerals can be commonly found in petrified fossils.
