As sedimentary rock is deposited at over time, you can find fossils in it.

What do Geologists use radiometric dating to date sedimentary rock?

Geologists use radiometric dating of volcanic ash layers within sedimentary rock to determine the age of the sedimentary rock. By dating the igneous rock layers above and below the sedimentary rock, geologists can establish a bracket of time within which the sedimentary rock was deposited.

How is a sedimentary rock with fossils formed?

Sedimentary rock (limestone, slate, etc) forms when small particles sink onto the seabed, along with dead animals or plants, forming deep layers of mud. Over a very long time, the lay may be subjected to enough pressure to form sedimentary rock, encasing the fossils.


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.
