Who was the first person to find a fossil when and where?

The question is a bit vague because it can be interpreted two different ways. Who found the first bird fossil ... (as in the very first bird that ever evolved). ... is an ongoing process since there have been recent discoveries of earlier dinosaur birds that the first found. A more accurate question would be who was the first person to find a bird fossil. In which case that wouldn't be the whole bird but just one feather. Which would be... Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer found in c.1860. For 150 years, a species called Archaeopteryx has been regarded as the first true bird, representing a major evolutionary step away from dinosaurs.


When were the 1st reptiles discovered?

Snakes evolved from lizard like reptiles. The fossil record of snakes is relatively poor because they are small and fragile but they first appear in the fossil record during the Cretaceous period (between 112 and 94 million years ago), with the earliest known snake fossils coming from Utah and Algeria. These early fossils are from the genera Coniophis and Lapparentophis.
