No because the last time they stopped all construction on the freeway to dig out the Mammoth and I hate drive at 15 mph down the freeway!!!
Playing in traffic were we? Where was your mommy?
I'm serious though. Get out there and dig a square meter of dirt down to knee depth and dont forget to sieve for fine fossils like polen and shells. And gold is easily spotted in a black plastic bowl...so be watchful. :)
As long as I have to go outside to get to it, can the fossil be indoors? (We're flipping swimming in them around here, but the best-looking ones are in the stairs at the local swimming hall.)

Lets put it this way...The Fossils you want are in the dirt...Square out a metre of the back yard if need be and start digging down.
Lets make an Effort. YOu cant all be as awesome as me. I sat down on a patch of rock out cropping to write poetry and noticed some rock strata had split along a layer - I instantly new that required a weakness in the seam which means Fossil. and whoopdie do! Found a million dollar Sea plant fossil (a nice one with mirror images on each layer of rock) My mistake was handing it in (even though it was on college land -in a grader scratch where they were planning a drain next to a carpark) to the colledge professor - he retired soon after and the fossil went missing.
I didnt even get my photo for being the discoverer...

Giant moa in your face!
So he only had one bone (15cm long) and from that he concluded it must be a giant bird...so he faked the rest of the skeleton by postulating what it would look like based on the one bone...shoot that guy for intellectual fraud.
The last time I tried this, the Smithsonian rejected my finds and all my friends laughed at me.
On my holidays we not infrequently dig holes around 150cm deep and about 600cm long. No fossils to date though.
