Duplicate of MC-170815 - please search before reporting

@Oval not completely a duplicate. My report adds that these structures can float. I think it should be marked as relating to that report.

Still an issue in 20w09a. See
[media]. Added seed and coordinates to the description.

Still not fixed in 20w10a.

Most fossils seem to generate properly. Here is another example of one not working in 20w10a
[media]
Some fossils are completely underground as well when you go into spectator mode. This is likely from the same code as floating fossils.
But that's a related bug.
Fossils can still generate in the air, but only if a cave/ravine removes the ground below it.

Still in 20w16a

Still occur in 1.16 pre-3, also it looks like fossils may be able to delete blocks below (added screenshot)

Confirmed for 1.16.2
Can confirm in 20w51a although, the provided coordinates no longer work. I did manage to find a floating fossil on the same seed, however. Here are the new coordinates:
Seed: -2995685393248072134
Coordinates: /execute in minecraft:the_nether run tp @p -318 72 -2039 150 30

Can confirm in 21w13a.
Seed: 1
Coordinates: /execute in minecraft:the_nether run tp @p 80 60 80
This seems to be caused by the caves carving through the fossil's island.

Can confirm in 1.17 Release Candidate 1.
Seed: -6152269615058931521
Coordinates: /execute in minecraft:the_nether run tp @s -115.08 95.43 228.76 55.99 15.75

Can confirm in 1.17.

Can confirm in 1.17.1.

Why is the status set to open? We need proper transitions Reopened to in progress and in progress to reopened when the progress is stopped.

Affects 1.18.2:

Can confirm in 1.19.
