I live in Northeast Ohio and we can find brachiopods around some of the local creeks.

I live in Las Vegas, Nev. and I can find corals, brachiopods, trilobites, and worm tracks in Paleozoic aged rocks.
If I drive a couple hours up to Utah (St. George), I can see dinosaur tracks.

I live in Alberta, so I'm lucky enough to be close to some of the richest dinosaur producing bone-beds in the world.
We also get some decent Pleistocene material out of the gravel beds of the glacial lake that once covered my particular area.

I am a fossil collector. You can find fossils anywhere. Look for the nearest road cut, river cut, bulldozed site. Anywhere the surface has been cut into sedimentary rock. It must be sedimentary rock. There you will usually find marine shells. Among these you will find articulated shellfish with valves together, which indicates they were buried suddenly alive. Articulated freshwater shells are even found around most dinosaur fossils. Where I live in Riverside, California a sparse fossil area - I find whale bones and marine shells, ground sloth, mammoth bone, fish, leaves, extremely rare dinosaur bone, ammonites, shark teeth, coal, Miocene mammal bones, plesiosaur bones, camel tracks, and 70 miles away trilobites and dinosaur tracks. Ohio is famous for its Phacops rana trilobites - the oldest and falsely called most primitive creatures with the most complex eyes in nature.

I'm not a geologist, but I don't think the layers have real names - just numbers denoting their position in the strata. And fyi - those "polystrate" fossils do pass through more than one layer, but not more than one STRATA, meaning that they are in fact NOT polystrate, and thus of no damage to the current estimates of the age of the earth. Just because it looks like there's more than one layer doesn't mean it's crossing through multiple strata. There is a difference.
