They both consider the data in their own area or expertise. 
The evidence could be high traces of coprolite (fossil poop) buried in sediment, which was analysed. 
The geologist compares this data to other sediments in other areas and concludes that there was heavy rainfall 1.4m years ago which washed the organic material down from a nearby mountain where the material is most prominent.  
The biologist compares the organic material to a database of stored coprolite and concludes that the area may have been populated by a specific group of animals.

The unanimous conclusion is that the poop is from a type of animal, which populates the nearby mountain and/or surrounding areas.
