When digging in rock where can the oldest fossils be found?
the oldest fossils can be found the deepest in the ground. in other words, the deeper the fossil, the older it is (unless something has happened to the ground, such as an earthquake etc.)
Are trilobite fossils older than fish fossils?
No. Trilobytes are the oldest fossils ever found. They are the reason the theory of evolution is still only a theory. They were complex organisms with all the basic organs, complex eyes and a respitory sytem. If evolution is true, why for over two centuries have no fossils been found leading up to their evolutionary "place."
Is aragonite more likely to be found in younger or older fossils?
Aragonite only occurs in fossils of the Cainozoic era as the unstable polymorph aragonite rearranges its chemical structure to form more stable Calcite over time.
What is the method of determining whether a fossil is older or younger than other fossils found in the many layers of sedimentary rock is called what?
relative dating
Are fossils young compared to the age of the Earth?
The oldest fossils found are considered to be from the late Archean period which ended 2500 million years ago. By contrast, the Earth is believed to be 4500 million years old. So, though both dates are amazingly old, the Earth is definitely older than the fossils.

How do you tell which fossils are older?
Fossils found in deeper rock layers are typically older than those found in shallower layers. Scientists also use methods like radiometric dating to determine the age of fossils based on the decay of radioactive isotopes present in the fossils. Additionally, studying the index fossils that are typically associated with specific time periods can help determine the relative age of fossils.

Why do you read the time scale starting at the bottom?
We read the Geologic timescale from the bottom to the top because, that is the same way geologists and paleontologists had found the older fossils. The older fossils lay at the bottom, and the more younger ones, near the top.
