Find every Fossil on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.2 & Bedrock 1.26.40, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: Fossils are buried bone-block skeletons that generate underground in desert and swamp biomes, occasionally laced with Diamond Ore. This finder marks fossil locations at a measured 95% accuracy on Java and 94% on Bedrock; diamond fossils carry their own measured figure on the marker.
Fossils generate underground beneath desert and swamp biomes in the Overworld, typically below Y 0. They are built from Bone Blocks (with a little Coal Ore) arranged as giant spines, ribcages and skulls, buried in the stone and deepslate.
Enter your seed and the finder marks fossil locations. Open a marker for coordinates and dig down to that X/Z below sea level. Following a cave or ravine to the right depth is often the quickest way in.
A fossil is a free supply of Bone Blocks for bone meal, plus a little Coal Ore. Because they generate at diamond depth, a fossil occasionally spawns directly against Diamond Ore — the "diamond fossil" the finder flags separately — making the trip doubly worthwhile.
Yes — both editions, Minecraft 26.2 (Java) and 1.26.40 (Bedrock). Fossil markers are block-verified against real generated worlds on both, and publish a measured 95% on Java and 94% on Bedrock. The diamond-fossil variant is scored separately and carries its own figure on the marker — higher than the plain fossil on Java, lower on Bedrock — so open the marker you actually plan to travel to and read the number there.

What's inside: Bone Blocks (and some Coal Ore) shaped like spines, ribs and skulls; rare fossils generate touching Diamond Ore
