thought they were gorilla noses that fell off

No idea what this guy was talking about. :o
preserved remains of ancient organisms. <------------- is the answer your looking for :D
They believed that fossils where ancient remains of animals and insects. :D
evidence in real time - finches fossil evidence evidence now backed up by genetics geological evidence of strata not just fossils
Because due to Darwins theory of evolution, fossils lead to adaptations over time therefor giving us reason to find evolution within human beings and animals.
Geographic distribution refers to the spatial arrangement of organisms across the Earth's surface, while biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of living things. Geographic distribution is a key aspect studied within biogeography to understand how and why species are distributed where they are, often influenced by factors such as evolutionary history, environmental conditions, and geographical barriers. Overall, geographic distribution is a fundamental component of biogeography as it helps explain the patterns of biodiversity and species richness observed globally.
You could sell fossils or do work for people.
Index fossils (also known as guide fossils, indicator fossils or zone fossils).
The answer is trace fossils, because over time there mothers' would leave trails of her footprints to her nesting area.This caused many people to believe that eggs are body fossils, but mainly, they are traces of the mothers body or area to sleep and care for her babies.
The study of fossils represent the evolution of species by the time period between when they became fossils and what the ancestory line is
The material on the mountains was not always up there. Mountains are generally created by what is called uplift. And places that were under water and then had remains laid down and fossilized can be uplifted through long periods of time to create mountains. The fossils are then found up there in the mountains. The geologic process is fairly well understood and modeled by geologists.
Crocodiles could be considered to be "living fossils" as they have survived on Earth from the time of the dinosaurs.
yeah
over time.
Educated people and most sailors understood that the world was round.
