You would need a sheet that would span the entire globe in order to cover that ground. You could start here by studying the fossils in collections and by going through the fossil ID section. If you have specific fossils which need to be identified, then please post them one by one in the fossil id section with the appropriate info needed for an identification.

This LINK will give a very general guide for you, for identifying fossils by shape.

It was modified for Australia from THIS SITE, which is the original. 

That is about as good as you will get, unless you can figure out the geology of your area, and get a faunal list for whatever formations you are hunting.

That's a rather tall order.  Can you be more specific?   What types of fossils?

I would recommend instead some of the fossil guidebooks that are out there
