QFL24-7 is on a distinguished road
Earth Science-Geology Question. PLEASE HELP!!!!?

Basically, because fossils are not ubiquitous. Some fossils only form in certain places, and sometimes, the environment of deposition was slightly different so the animals did not live in the same place. You are never 100% going to find any fossil, with the main exception being microfossils.
