The fossil on the bottom would be older because as time goes on rock builds up and buries fossils so the higher it is the more recent it is.

Why would fossils found at the top of a canyon probably be younger than those found at the bottom of the canyon?

The fossils found at the top of a canyon will probably be younger than those at the of the bottom of the canyon because the fossils at the bottom of the canyon would have been there earlier when the so called "canyon" was once a flat land, so as time went by, the flat land began growing and getting taller and finally became a canyon so the fossils at the top of the canyon WOULD be younger than those at the bottom because the bottom fossils were there before the top of the canton even existed.


Why do you read the time scale starting at the bottom?

We read the Geologic timescale from the bottom to the top because, that is the same way geologists and paleontologists had found the older fossils. The older fossils lay at the bottom, and the more younger ones, near the top.

Why are the oldest fossils sometimes not on the bottom layers of rocks?

Older fossils may not always be found at the bottom layers of rocks due to geological processes like folding, faulting, or erosion, which can disrupt the original order. In these cases, older fossils may be found at higher layers while younger fossils are found in lower layers.

Discuss how fossils provide evidence of change from the earliest life-forms to those alive today?

Fossils showing animals of the past display some similarity to animals of today as well as some differences. When we start at the bottom of the fossil record (where all the oldest fossils are) and work our way up through all the rock layers of the different ages in geologic time, we start to notice the changes in the fossils and how they lead up to the animals of today
