Geologists look for index fossils in the sedimentary rock to help determine its age. Index fossils are of organisms that were widespread and only existed during a specific slice of geologic time. Finding an index fossil in a rock means that the rock dates to that specific slice of time.
A trace fossil is one that merely indicates that an organism left evidence of its existence. Some examples would be burrows or footprints that appear in sedimentary rock. An index fossil is of an organism that dates to a particular time in the geologic record, the organism only appearing in a certain segment of that record. Index fossils are indicators of the age of the rock in which they are found.
The relative age of something is its age in comparison to the ages of other things. Geologists determine the relative ages of rocks and other structures by examining their places in a sequence. For example, if layers of sedimentary rock are offset by a fault, which is a break in earth's surface, you know that the layers had to be there before a fault could cut through them. The relative age of the rocks is older than the relative age of a fault. Relative age determination doesn't tell you anything about the age of the rock layers in actual years. You only know that it's younger than the layers below it and older than the fault cutting through it.

In order to understand or record when something happened in the past, we assign a date and a time to the happening.
An era is a geologic division of time that dates from a particularly significant event. A smaller unit of an era would be a period which is further subdivided into an epoch and then an age.

It is the study of time. The passage of time, and the science that deals with measuring of time by regular divisions. Also the assignment of dates to events in chronological order.
We don’t know what “s” means here. We need dates or years.
