first remains discovered and examined in 1700's but not sure what you are asking. They were also depicted in cave paintings which I think were found before any actual remains or fossils were found.
Probably, yes. California has some of the largest concentrations of Smilodon fossils in the world and I would assume that, with its close proximity, Nevada would have some too.
Fossils can be any Kingdom. We have found fossils of plants, worms, animals plus many others.
Of curse there are, they are mainly located in sedimentary rocks, the only rocks in which fossils can be found.

No, human fossils are among the rarest type of fossils. Fossils of plants and marine organisms are far more abundant and have been found in greater numbers than human fossils.
In theory, any kind of fossil can be preserved in ice, but among prehistoric animals, the most commonly found preserved in ice are mammoths and mastodons. We know exactly what a woolly mammoth looked like because entire specimens, hair and all, have been found frozen (the details of hair or skin most dinosaurs are depicted with is basically guesswork).
Oldest fossils have been found in many areas of the Great Persian Empire. This was in ancient history, when Cyrus The Great ruled Persia. At the time of his rule many archaeologists found fossils dating back to 1 billion years ago from creatures never thought of by any human. Persia is modern day Iran, and is going through many revolutions, however if you ever decide to go there, there is a Museum called, "Kootlet", it contains many of the most ancient fossils ever discovered by man kind! Hope this helps, Mr Smith
No. In general, there are no fossils in igneous or metamorphic rocks, because the high heat and pressure involved would destroy any fossils. Fossils are almost always found in sedimentary rock.

Yes. The only species of marsupial in North America is the Virginia Opossum, with a range that also extends south. In central America, there is the Yapok, a type of water-possum, while in South America can be found the Monito del Monte.
No. Fossils only exist in the crust. Any fossil subjected to the heat and pressure any deeper than the crust would be destroyed.
