Answer:

Hutton's Unconformity

At Siccar Point, during the lower Silurian Llandovery epoch around 435 million years ago, thin beds of fine-grained mudstone were laid down gradually deep in the Iapetus Ocean, alternating with thicker layers of hard greywacke formed when torrents swept unsorted sandstone down the continental slope. Siccar Point is a rocky promontory in the county of Berwickshire on the east coast of Scotland. It is famous in the history of geology for Hutton's Unconformity found in 1788, which James Hutton regarded as conclusive proof of his uniformitarian theory of geological development.

dangina [55]
Darwins's theory of natural selection is an evidence of evolution by acquiring characters that make survival of an organism feasible in a typical environment. 
Fossils records are used to support this theory, by figuring out the common ancestry of different species and different traits that have evolved in them with time.
Embryology is also used as an evidence which shows common origin of the organisms. Other evidences are geographic distributions and homologous structures of the living organisms.
