You are never going to find fossils or remains of elves, or orcs or whatever. They never existed in reality. Only in our minds and our hearts.

Oh, really? Wellllll, I don't know about that, G-K Willy. The Ohio Valley is covered with ancient mounds, (a.k.a. "barrows"), and supposedly the remains of "giants" have been found in many of them.
