Fossils of armored fish, corals, shellfish, and snails have been found in the Grand Canyon.
principle of superposition
The layers of soil from the bottom, or the deepest, layer to top are
Deep canyons are formed when rivers erode many layers of rock. The pattern of rocky layers, as well as the layers themselves, have a lot of information for geologists about how the layers were formed, atmospheric conditions, disruptions, volcanic eruptions, major fires and so on. It would be difficult or impossible to expose so much of this over such a great distance.

The layers of soil from the bottom, or the deepest, layer to top are
in rock layers what is found at the bottom
Old rocks! New or young rocks are at the top!
Old rocks! New or young rocks are at the top!
By lots of weathering and erosion they are made with lots of different layers of rock.
Rock strata can be formed in layers at the bottom of lakes.
The oldest rocks (layers) are at the bottom. The youngestrocks (layers) are at the top
