Finding the fossils of trees in an area that is currently a desert without much life might tell us that the area millions of years ago was heavily eroded by strong winds, received much rain to support a forest, suffered very powerful earthquakes, or was destroyed by the impact of meteorites.

Which type of geological area would be the best to search for ancient animal or plant fossils? (Note: This is a thinking question!) An area that was formerly a desert. An area that was formerly a mountain, but has now been eroded down to a valley. An area that is currently a desert, but was formerly a lagoon or large bay. All of these areas would have equal amounts of fossils.
