Also makes you wonder what fossils they mean, of the same species or then already extinct ones.
Because according to a quick Wikipedia search the oldest hominid fossils (?) are something like 7 millions years old
That’s much much shorter than dinosaurs where around but hey " hominins are around long enough to unearth hominin fossils"!

I know there’s some animal fossils in New Zealand that date back to its colonization by the ancestors of the Maori, so about the 1400s. Though I don’t know if they are partially or fully fossilized.

Your teeth can fossilise while they’re still in your mouth. We call it tartar.
