Fossils Wherabouts?

Hello! I'm playing a single player Minecraft world, and I cannot seem to find any fossils! Is it only available in creative mode, because I went on it and saw what the ore looked like. I looked at one of the forum pages where a guy said it spawns in an ocean biome at level 40-60, but I've been looking for a while. Is it just really rare or not currently in survival?

They are definitely spawning and in enough numbers that they should be findable though not too easily

Honestly I've been looking everywhere.. I've dug through at least twenty patches of gravel between layers 20-50, some of which were very large. However, I have still not found a single fossil. Is there something I may be doing wrong? Or might I just be very unlucky? XD

I have one more question if that's alright. Are the fossils pressed right up against the gravel or can they be a couple blocks buried away from it?
