How to find fossil layers in a igneous rock area?

So i live in a part of sweden that has no fossils. 

In beaches yes. But i wonder can i find fossil layers still? The museum said that there are no layers in my town. But i have seen many people find new undiscovered locations. So should i look in creeks? I have sometimes found flint in streams and rivers. I have thought about going to places where nobody really has been and look if i can find anything

Short answer: yes. You may have answered your own question.

Given the state of fossil collecting where I am, much of the time is now spent prospecting new spots. Expect to fail more often than you succeed, but that is the nature of prospecting.

If there is flint, there may be other sedimentary rocks. But these all seem to be erratic in your area.

However, if you are open-minded, you may find other things than fossils. Crystals, ores, nice rocks, artifacts etc. Not to speak of rare fauna and flora, lost places etc.

Have fun and "live long and prospecting" ;)
