How index fossils can be used to determine the age of rocks?

Index fossils are used to date rocks by correlating the fossils found in the rock layers with known ages of those fossils. Index fossils are distinctive, widespread, and lived for a relatively short period of time. By identifying these fossils in a rock layer, scientists can infer the age of the rock based on the age range of the known fossil.


What is the life span of komodo dragon?

What fossil used to compare the relative ages of fossils?

An index fossil. An index fossil's age is known, allowing scientists to know the relative age of other fossils based on their position relative to the index fossil. (Ex. If a fossil is deeper in the earth, it is older than the index fossil)


What types of dating estimates the age of a rock or fossil?

The rough estimating of the age of a fossil or rock containing fossils is called relative dating, and is based on the position of the rock or fossil in undisturbed sedimentary strata which contains what are called 'index fossils', fossils that only appear in specific geologic time periods.
