How do scientists determine history by using fossils and sedimentary layers?
Geologists and paleontologists look for index fossils in rock strata. These index fossils appear only in rocks of a certain age. Finding them lets the scientist know the approximate age range of a rock formation. Layers of sedimentary rock will also aid the scientist is determining the climate from that age, of any volcanism that may have taken place, the lifeforms that existed, and even find evidence of catastrophic events such as asteroid collisions that may have led to extinction events.
