List of important fossil sites
List of significant and / or well-known fossil sites . The sites are either geological formations or individual sites.
Geological formations are made up of rocks that were deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend over large areas and so it can happen that several important sites occur at the same time in the same formation. In these cases, the references should be given under the appropriate heading. On the other hand, for practical reasons, many formations are only examined at a single point, usually at the type locality .
