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.
The fish will become a fossil because of the fish bones on his back.
The discovery of a fossil of an ancient fish atop a mountain suggests that the area was once underwater, possibly indicating plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's crust. It provides evidence of past geological changes and can help scientists reconstruct the history of the Earth's surface.

The earliest vertebrate fossil is believed to be Haikouichthys, a primitive fish that lived around 530 million years ago during the Cambrian period. Its discovery in China provided important insights into the early evolution of vertebrates.
It would tell you that an ocean once existed there and then withdrew.
I don't know if you would call it a dinosaur or not, but I think they've found a fish fossil.

Yes, hundreds of species of fish can be found in the fossil record.
lol
it was found in souther china
Most common, a lake or pond was there in previous years.
would a jellyfish make a good fossil
Trout can be found in mountain streams, so in a way they do live on mountain.
Sharks teeth are pretty common, and complete fossil skeletons of Penguin are found in North Otago. But fossil fish skeletons are also quite common.
its not the answer i got from my text book so dont listen 2 tht person............................

Yes however, it would not be good for them
