What layer is an old fossil found?
fossils are formed in Sedimentary rock
Which layer of the earth are fossils mostly found?
The crust. There are no fossils in the core as the outer core is liquid and no organisms have lived on the inner core.
What do scientists use to date exact age of fossils?
For relatively recent fossils, dating by carbon 14 is the most accurate method. For older fossils it is necessary to analyse the geological layer in which they are found; fossils located in an undisturbed geological layer of a certain age, are the same age as the layer in which they are found, necessarily.
Are index fossils short lived?
studyisland awnser: to date a rock layer and other fossils within that layer
Which layer of the Badlands contains reptile fossils but no dinosaur fossils?
The Badlands in Badlands National Park contain reptile fossils (including alligator fossils), but do not contain dinosaur fossils. Note that "Badlands" refers to a type of geographical feature, which is not only found in Badlands National Park.
What is the age of fossils that can be measured by what dating?
Fossils themselves can very rarely be dated by any means...their age is usually judged by the geological assessment of the area and layer in which they are found

What layer of soil was dinosaur bones found in?
Fossils are not found in the soil. They are found in layers of rock after time.
Which layer of the earth are fossils mostly found?

What is A fossil found under a layer of rock is usually .?
It is usually older than the rock layer it is found under.
What is the simplest dating method used by paleontologists?
Relative Dating, its where the paleontologists date the fossils according to the layer of soil that the fossil was found compared to other fossils that were carbon dated that were in the same soil layer.
Can fossils be used to determine the relative ages of rocks layers?
fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layer by using the classification of fossils to find the relative ages of rocks in which fossils are found. :] hoped i helped you out.
What do geologist use index fossils for?
to date a rock layer and other fossils within that layer
Which layer is most likely to contain fossils that resemble existing species?
new layer of the fossils
