As primitive life-forms are below the more complex organisms in the layers of rock.

However, which rocks or mountain ranges did they find that this had occured?

  1. The stratification of the fossil record is pretty clear everywhere but for some specific examples the Rift Valley in Africa and the big dinosaur park in Utah.


  2. The coast of East Dorset, England, has Eocene mudstone on top of Paleocene rock.  Go further west to Bournemouth, and the Paleocene stuff's exposed, but you're no longer allowed to dig on the cliffs.  Further west still, and you meet Cretaceous chalk.  Carry on to Durlston Bay, and you find earliest Cretaceous limestone.  Keep going west and you'll encounter various stages of the Upper Jurassic, the Middle Jurassic at Whatton Cliff, the Lower Jurassic at and around Lyme Bay and, going across the county boundary into Devon, Upper Triassic rock with fossils.

    That's merely one example involving about eighty miles of coastline.

  3. this isn't an answer, however, it is a common misconception that evolution stops. Evolution occurs constantly, and un-endingly.

    Also, a single entity, such as you or I, will not evolve, evolution is errors or mistakes within the genetic code that gets passed through us to our children.

  4. All of the ones that have fossils in them.  

    Example:  Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
