Moon rocks resemble rocks from what layer of the earth?
Moon rocks resemble rocks from the Earth's crust layer. They are predominantly composed of igneous rocks like basalt and anorthosite, similar to those found on Earth's crust.

Geologists use fossils to determine the age of rocks through a process called biostratigraphy. They identify the specific group of fossils present in the rock layer, known as index fossils, that have a known age range. By comparing the index fossils to a geological time scale, geologists can estimate the age of the rock layer.
How can sedimentary rocks show earth history?
