Would horseshoe crabs be useful as an index fossils?
No, Index fossils are used to date certain rock layers where the fossil is found. So it's usefull when you can find a certain index fossil only in a small period of time. So you can get the most precise dating for the rock layer. Horseshoe crabs are known as a 'living fossil', the first fossils of horse shoe crabs are found 450 millions years ago. So when you find a fossil of a horse shoe crab in a rock or sediment, you can't say anything about the age of the rock.
