What else can I help you with?
What must be true for a fossil organism to be useful as a index fossil?
The absolute age of the index fossil was determine by radioactive dating or another absolute method
Is there another way of getting omanyte beside the fossil in mt.moon?
you can ask a friend to trade it to you :)
When is a fossil a fossil?
Excellent question! There's no definitive way of saying "this is a fossil"; so paleontologists usually pick the arbitary age of 10,000 years - so if remains are more than 10,000 years old, they are called a fossil.
What is the relative age of a fossil that can be determined by comparing it to an index fossil is called?
The relative age of a fossil that can be determined by comparing it to an index fossil is called biostratigraphic dating. This method relies on the known age range of the index fossil to estimate the relative age of the fossil being studied.
What is the definition of relative age?
The geologic age of fossil organisms, rock, or geologic features or events defined relative of each other.
What is radioisotope-dating?
A way to estimate a fossil's age by analyzing the elemental isotopes within the rock it's in.
How scientists estimate the age in years of a fossil?
Scientists can use carbon dating to determine the age of a fossil.
What is the age of the oldest fossil on record?
The age of the oldest fossil on record is about 3.5 billion years old.
How is the absolute age of the fossil different from the relative age?
The absolute age of a fossil provides a specific numerical age in years, usually determined through radiometric dating techniques. Relative age, on the other hand, only allows us to determine the fossil's age in relation to other fossils or rocks, based on their layering or sequence in the rock record.
What is another name for fossil fuels?
Hydro-carbons is another name for fossil fuels.
What does the storage of fossil fuels present?
It is difficult to understand what your asking. Please phrase your question in another way.
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?
This fossil is called a index fossil. It is a species that is easily recognizable, widespread, and existed for a short period of time. By determining the age of the rock layer where the index fossil is found, geologists can establish the approximate age of the surrounding rocks.
