Place it in a time period
The age of the rock layer
carbon dating
of course they can by carbon-14 dating.
An organism used to identify a specific geologic time period is called an index fossil. Index fossils are used by geologists to narrow down the age of rocks and sediment layers based on the known age range of the fossil species.
A fossil contained in the tock
Revive the fossil from the scientist in Cinnabar Island.
By using relative age. Over a long period of time, sediment will, layer by layer, coat and cover the fossil, making it difficult for paleontologists and scientists to figure out how old the fossil really is.
Staining enabled scientist to identify cell organelles.
You can identify them by what IS the fossil. The 3 fossils are prints, coprolite, or smooth rocks corroded by gizzards.
scientist can determine a fossil's age in two ways: relative dating and absolute dating
It turns into a Lileep when you give the root fossil to the scientist in Rustboro City.
Preserve them and study them.
