Q: If the isochron slope is 0.0077 what is the age in millions of years when first evidence of abundant fossils?
Because, similar fossils could be found on different continents, in rocks of the same age.
it can show a rocks age and what it has gone through
Index fossils
Index fossils can be used to help determine the relative age of rock layers. Index fossils are from species that only existed for a short time. Index fossils are found in rock layers. Trilobites and Graptolites are index fossils.

Age is based on fossils that are found in the rock.
By calculating the evidence provided. I have made the conclusion that she is indeed a certain age.
Index fossils
Radioactive decay

I think they are called Index Fossils...
Radiometric dating of fossils is not possible beyond roughly 70,000 years. However, when fossils are found in association with strata of volcanic and metamorphic rocks which can be dated radiometrically, a very accurate age of the fossils can be determined.
no but you can tell the age of the fossil from the age of the rock around it, you cant tell the age of the earth from fossils is because animals with bones were didnt exist until later in the earth's "life"
