Why do you thank fossils are found near areas where there used to be water?
because most fossils are sea creatures, that are by the sea :)
Is A paved parking lot a good place to look for fossils?

How are fossils used to show changes in Antarctica?
plant fossils (glossopteris) were found there.
Can fossils be used to determine the relative ages of rocks layers?
fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layer by using the classification of fossils to find the relative ages of rocks in which fossils are found. :] hoped i helped you out.
Fossil used to compare the relative ages of fossils?
Index fossils are used to compare the relative ages of fossils. These are fossils that are known to have lived during a specific time period, helping to date the rock layers in which they are found. By identifying and comparing index fossils, scientists can determine the relative ages of different rock layers and fossils.
What are index fossils and how are they used to determine the absolute age of sedimentary rocks?
Index fossils can be used to help determine the relative age of rock layers. Index fossils are from species that only existed for a short time. Index fossils are found in rock layers. Trilobites and Graptolites are index fossils.
Is fossils used to power cars?
no

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.
Can fossils be used as index fossils?
Yes, index fossils are special fossils that act as geological tools enabling comparison in time of a range of geological units and environment. Normally, they are selected using certain attributes such as the fossil should be widespread, abundant, fast evolving, and independent of their environment.
What is used to determine the age of fossils?
Carbondating is the method often used to date fossils, and that involves both the elements Carbon-12 and Carbon-14.
