The snake fossils moved apart by 2150 miles since they were originally deposited.

Explanation:

The first ever fossil of the snake that was found was of a small baby snake which had a well preserved skeletal structure. This was of the oldest snake that was found in the forest environment. These fossils can be found in each and every continent of the world but is not found in the continent of Antarctica.

And the first snake fossil which has moved apart is by 2150 miles. The new fossils challenges past hypotheses that recommended long, slight skull structure that is normal for snakes is a component that advanced after the creatures became legless and built up their extended bodies.
