If you have 3 jars of different colored sand and you pour them one after the other into a clear glass container, they will form 3 layers one on top of the other.
The oldest layer (the one you poured in first) will be at the base, underneath the other two.
The second layer, the one you poured in next will be on top of the first but underneath the last.
The third layer will be on top of all the rest and will be the one you poured in last.
Thus rocks are laid down with the older layers at the base and getting younger as you go up. This is called "the law off superposition".

It would be found in the lower layers, rather that younger fossils which are found in the upper layers. ♥

plant and animal fossils are most often found in layers of sedimentary rocks

They date the igneous intrusions and extrusions near the sedimentary rock layers.
