Well if it was deep in the ground it was probably old.

How do scientists find absolute dates of fossils?
by using a X-ray
What evidence do scientists find in fossils and living things?
Scientist find evidence about common ancestors.
What do geological experts do?
Palaeontologists are scientists who study fossils.
What do scientists use to date exact age of fossils?
For relatively recent fossils, dating by carbon 14 is the most accurate method. For older fossils it is necessary to analyse the geological layer in which they are found; fossils located in an undisturbed geological layer of a certain age, are the same age as the layer in which they are found, necessarily.
How do scientist find fossils?
scientists use carbon dating to tell how old fossils are. They can also tell how old it is by using relative dating (for example): if a fossil is found deeper in the ground than another fossil, it is older.

What did the scientists find about dinosaurs?
Their fossils (bones).
How do scientists find out about extinction?
They find fossils inside their bum
How do scientists find fossils in water?
They pull there heads out of there butts,clean the poopy off there head and dig in the ground to find the dang fossils.
Why can't scientists find fossils of invertebrates?
They've found PLENTY.
How does relative dating and absolute dating help scientists assemble a fossil record for an area?
Relative dating is the science determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age Absolute dating is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology.
What evidence do scientists find in fossils and living things?
Scientist find evidence about common ancestors.
Why are species missing from the fossil record?
because sometimes the scientists don't find the fossils
How do scientists get info about dinosaures?
Scientists get information about dinosaurs from fossils and they are able to trace DNA and find out how dinosaurs looked, ate, hunted and lived.
Is carbon-14 the only element that scientists use to find the absolute age of fossils?
Carbon 14 is not normally used to determine the age of fossils as it has such a short half-life. Most fossils found are well over 50,000 to 60,000 years old which is the maximum age at which Carbon 14 can be used. Potassium/Argon and Uranium/Lead are much more commonly used.
What two things must scientist measure to find the absolute age of a rock?
scientists use carbon14 and potassium argon to find absolute age of rock
