What sedimentary rock often has fossils?
Paleontologists are looking for fossils in sedimentary rock.
Where can you find the oldest fossils in sedimentary rock layers?
The oldest fossils are typically found in the deepest sedimentary rock layers, which are located at the bottom of a rock formation. This principle is known as the law of superposition in geology, where older rock layers are found beneath younger ones.
How index fossils can be used to determine the age of rocks?
Index fossils are used to date rocks by correlating the fossils found in the rock layers with known ages of those fossils. Index fossils are distinctive, widespread, and lived for a relatively short period of time. By identifying these fossils in a rock layer, scientists can infer the age of the rock based on the age range of the known fossil.
How fossils can be used to determine the absolute and relative age of a sedimentary rock layer?
Perhaps by carbon dating and by comparing with the evolution and dominance of various organisms in the geological time scale.
What does the rock cycle have anything to do with fossils?
Sedimentary rocks are rocks that are formed by layers of different things compacting very tightly. These layers can have a lot of different things in them, like fossils. So, sedimentary rocks are partially made up of fossils.

Fossils are nearly always found in some type of sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock which very commonly contains fossils, as is coal.
