OCR: Leonardo wasn't concerned with whether such claims were religious or scientific. He wanted to account for mountain shell fossils with his own theories about how water circulates in the body of the earth. "Why do we find so many fragments and whole shells between the different layers of stone unless they had been upon the shore and had been covered over by earth that was newly thrown up by the sea and then became petrified?"
