Yes, that’s why geologists can date rocks, sediments get constantly deposited in seas / lakes / rivers / lowlands etc., and form layers one over another.
The reason we can find them is because eventually those rocks get uplifted by tectonic activity (stuff moves around) and are now hills or mountains, which start eroding instead (depositingthe sediments in seas / lakes… You get it). As those rocks erode, we can find fossils hidden in them.
