How can the age of a rock be related to fossils?
If a lava flow or bed of volcanic ash was dated using isotopic dating methods and fossils were found in a sedimentary rock beneath the volcanic rock, it can be surmised that the fossils were older than the lava or ash. If the same species of fossils were found in another part of the world it would make sense that the rocks there were the same age as previous fossils. By cross checking with many other areas with other volcanic rocks, it can be found that all the rocks around the world containing those fossils were of a similar age.
Why do rock fossils form in sedimantry rock and not in igneous rock?
Fossils usually form when the remains of an organism are buried gently under sediments which later turn into stone. Intrusive igneous rocks form at depths within Earth where no life is found. Extrusive igneous (volcanic) rocks are so hot when they are deposited that any remains of organisms are usually incinerated. Fossils do occur in volcanic rocks, but very rarely.
