The strata containing fossils cover the vast majority of the crustal earth that is above the level of the ocean. Even the Himalaya Mountains and the strata at the level and next to the Dead Sea contain them. Much evidence supports that living organisms were rapidly and sequentially buried. This is consistent with the Noah Flood Account. Below is a nice overview regarding fossils by Answers in Genesis.
As well, there is an article by Dr Andrew Snelling (Geologist) done in 2010 in which he discusses the Geology of Israel. See link below quote:
"Much of Israel consists of exposed Flood-deposited fossiliferous sedimentary strata, from the far north of the country down through the central “spine” of the Judean Hills to the Negev in the south…" Then Fig.26 caption states "…The Old City is built on the uppermost beds of limestones and dolomites of the Judea Group (middle Cretaceous), which are exposed beneath the wall. The boundary with the overlying Mt. Scopus Group chalk beds is in the Kidron Valley."
