List of fossil sites

This list of fossil sites is a worldwide list of localities known well for the presence of fossils. Fossils may be found either associated with a geological formation or at a single site. Geological formations consist of rock that was deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend for large areas, and sometimes there are different important sites in which the same formation is exposed. In such cases, the sites should be listed under the appropriate formation. However, many formations are for all practical purposes only studied at a single site, usually the type locality.
