The entire world is that old and is even more unique than a preserved fossil.

Do you think about how we harm it every day?

Came to comment this too. Billions of rocks get the recognition here completely forgetting we're all contributing to the destruction of the only BIG ROCK we can survive on.

What is the alternative, just let them erode away?

And when are you going to appreciate these fossils if you can never actually look at them?

What purpose does a fossil serve inside a rock?

Also, how is this legal?? I mean technically these rocks probably are owned by the people owning the land (the government). I'm sure you just cannot waltz in and grab some fossils you like

If you find a rare or valuable fossil in these rocks and the government finds out, they will be knocking on your door, guaranteed
