A fossil that is found in the rock layers of only one geologic age and that is used to establish the age of the rock layers?
An index fossil.
Which feature of a sedimentary rock if present would most likely to help a scientist determine its age?
A fossil contained in the tock
How can you determine accurate ages of rock layers?
Stratigraphic position Age Dating techniques i.e. carbon etc Fossil Assemblage present in rock specimen
Why it is hard to find fossil records in layers of rock.?
because it hiding in the records of the rock
What is the chronological collection of life's remains found in layers of rock?
The answer is the fossil record :D
How do scientists use sedimentary rock to determine a fossils relative age?
Scientists use sedimentary rock to determine a fossil relative age by studying the rock.

How the relative age of a fossil is determined by studying layers of rock?
It is determined because in layers of rocks the fossils are found so the layers of rocks give information to the scientist about the age of a fossil so like that the relative age of a fossil is determined.
How can you determine accurate ages of rock layers?
Stratigraphic position Age Dating techniques i.e. carbon etc Fossil Assemblage present in rock specimen
A fossil that is used to date surrounding rock layers is?
This is called an index fossil.
What evidence would a scientists use to determine the absolute age of a fossil found in sedimentary rock?
The Igneous intrusions and extrusions near sedimentary layers.
A scientist compares the layers of sedimentary rock in a hillside and then applies the principles of relative dating What can the scientist conclude about the hillside?
The chronological order of rock layers from oldest to youngest
How are sedimentary layers used to date fossils?
Stratigraphic layers can be used to determine the age of a fossil in a simple manner. The layers towards the top of an outcrop are younger (Law of Superposition and Law of Original Horizontality) and the layers near the bottom are older. If a fossil is found in a lower layer then that fossil is older than any fossils found in the higher up layers.

What is the fossil called that geologists use to determine rock ages?
Index Fossil
