As for my theory that the FoIs are the origin of the teeth canyon, giant blue "iris" and giant red crosses, it comes from diverse observations :
1/ the FoIs are all crawling upward from Lilith's chamber, we didn't saw a single FoI going downward.
2/ all the FoIs are headless, and a sea of EVA-sized skulls are littering Lilith's Chamber, how would these skulls ended in the Chamber if they were born in the Tokyo-3 landscape above?
3/ Lilith's corpse is atop the sea of skulls, meaning that the FoIs lost their head before Lilith was killed
4/ we saw FoIs being agglutinated around Lilith's head, but not her corpse? Besides all of the FoIs in her chamber are climbing the wall, like not one of them had any business to do with Lilith's corpse.
5/ Where did the lake of LCL go?
So putting aside Mark.06, the JSSDF and the 12th Angel, since we don't know who did what, that's my theory :
Lilith awoke(as a response to Shinji's N3I? Latter because of the 12th Angel? Of SEELE who tried to resurrect her before time? Who knows), and since her head in the Command Center was much bigger that what we saw of her when she was still crucified, that means that Lilith still had her head when she increased her size : a possibility is that she absorbed part of the lake of LCL around her to get bigger(maybe to get more powerful?), she generates LCL, so it's not that far of a stretch to think that she can absorb it back for herself.
But then she has been beheaded for some reason(Mark.06, the JSSDF, the 12th Angel's doing, whatever), and as a response(from Lilith?) the FoIs where summoned from the rests of the lake of LCL : said LCL took EVA-01's image(because she was made from Lilith? Because Rei's soul was inside and was Lilith's soul? Both?), but as a response to Lilith's corpse headlessness, all the FoIs lose their head as soon as born, with the thousands of FoIs that Lilith summoned, soon their skulls littered the ground, helped with the LCL lake slowly drying to create new FoIs.
Then all of these FoIs started to climb up the Main Shaft to reach the surface, some of them bifurcating to recuperate Lilith's head(maybe they wanted to give it back to her), and once they reached the surface, they started to dissolve(or phase through) to fuse with the ground, turning the place around into core material as a side-effect, the combined efforts of thousands upon thousands of FoIs "conquering" more and more land, all merging into a single giant core advancing little by little with each FoI fusing with it, all being reunited into a single godly being transcending everything the world has ever seen, a godly hive mind being dubbed "Infinity". Think about what happen when you slowly spills the content of a glass of water to the ground : the more water you spill, and the farther it spreads in all direction, well that was the same thing with the FoI fusing with the ground.
After some time and numerous enough FoIs fused, "Infinity" began to form physical traits, like a mouth and an eye, but then Mark.06 managed to infiltrate Lilith's Chamber and spears her(and himself in the process) putting a stop to the process and "killing" the FoIs. And the one we saw merging into some sort of giant "tower"? Maybe they were forming the giant red crosses we saw around the Geofront, these crosses must come from somewhere(or something in that case), maybe these crosses served as "relays" to spread further the core-erosion of the ground, and with it "Infinity".
Now the last question is why the FoIs are made from core material while the skull are made of bones? Well maybe the FoIs weren't always made of core. Maybe while active they were organic beings who took the form of EVA-01, armor plate and shoulder pylons included, but made of flesh instead of metal(maybe they were even completely white, like Lilith!), and when Lilith was speared and thus killed, the still actives FoIs were petrified into core material.
That would explain why some of them where looking like merging with buildings : they were petrified while dissolving into "Infinity". That would also explain why the buildings were so well conserved : 1.0 and 2.0 showed us that an Evangelion running around in a city wrecked a big havoc, and there were only three of them maximum at a same time... and here we had thousands of EVA-sized beings, yet not a single building, not a single house has been trampled! Well If the FoIs dissolved(or phased) in the ground that would explain both the perfect state of conservation of the city, and why some of them appears to be fused with the buildings.
And getting that theory even farther, maybe the "line" of giant white crosses we saw in the horizon in 3.0 while the Wunder was leaving the ruins of Tokyo-3 was a counter-measure from mankind to stop the spreading of "Infinity".
The big grip with that theory is the fact that the whole planet has turned blood-red during the time skip, as seen during Operation US? that would imply that the whole planet as been turned into core. But that seems impossible, since WILLE's supplies must have come from somewhere, all that metal to outfit the Wunder, get a new armor type for the Evangelions, make maintenance and reparations for them and the fleet, all of this must have been extracted and forged somewhere.
And their food must have been grown in a fertile soil, even if it's tasteless nutrient goo like what Shinji ate while at neo-NERV : if even then managed to get food and weren't reduced to nutrient pills like Rei, why would the survivors outside share worst?
As for the red Earth, maybe that was a trickery of the light made by some LCL mixed with the atmosphere, making us see Earth as a completely red dead rock, while actually the situation is a little better.
