How can index fossils be used to date rock?
Because if you know how old the fossil is, and you find the fossil inside a rock, you know that rock has a maxium age corresponding with the age of the fossil.
What is a bioclast?
A bioclast is a fossil fragment which is used to date a rock stratum.
Removing a fossil from rock is called?
Removing a fossil from rock is called fossil extraction or fossil preparation. This process requires delicate tools and techniques to carefully separate the fossil from the surrounding rock without damaging it.
What are ancient organisms preserved in a rock called?
A fossil is any evidence of an organism preserved in rock.
What kind of rock layers did index fossil date?
index fossils are used to date the rock layers they are found incc
A fossil that is used to date surrounding rock layers is?
This is called an index fossil.

What is a fossil used to date surrounding rock layers called?
A fossil used to date surrounding rock layers is called a index fossil. Index fossils are particularly useful for determining the relative ages of rock layers in different locations.
What is a bioclast?
A bioclast is a fossil fragment which is used to date a rock stratum.
You find a rock deep in the ocean that contains a fossil What kind of rock is this?
Sedimentary is found below the ocean floor or area with water
Is intrusive igneous rock such as granite date from when it cools deep within the Earth's crust or is the date given as when the rock is uplifted through the Earth's crust?
It is dated from the time it solidifies as rock.
How do you donate a fossil in Fossil Fighters?
You need to clean the same fossil rock a couple of times and then it immediately donates the fossil rock
What is larger fossil or rock?
Originally... fossils form as pressure compresses soil materials and forms rock. Rock is larger than the fossil it contains. However, the rock can later fracture or split; the fossil inside the rock can also be broken. But the fossil is still contained in the rock, so rock is still larger until the fossil is mechanically separated from the rock. However, if small, the indentation of fossil can become only an etching in the rock.

How can fossils be used to date rocks?
Geologists look for index fossils in the sedimentary rock to help determine its age. Index fossils are of organisms that were widespread and only existed during a specific slice of geologic time. Finding an index fossil in a rock means that the rock dates to that specific slice of time.
What kind of rock layers did index fossil date?
index fossils are used to date the rock layers they are found incc
