A fossil of an ocean fish was found in a rock outcrop on a mountain. This probably means that?

It means that at one point the mountain was below sea level.

It most likley means there used to be an ocean as high as the mountain. Over the years the ocean has evaporated, the fish had died and as a result it left a fossil over the million years.
