I can answer part of this question. If they can scientists use carbon dating to find the closest age of the fossil. If carbon dating is not possible they use a different technique such as this: If they look at the layers of the rocks, the rocks before and after the layer of rock the fossil was found in, can show an estimate of how old the fossil can be if they know the age of the rock layers before and after its layer.
The relative age of a fossil that can be determined by comparing it to an index fossil is called biostratigraphic dating. This method relies on the known age range of the index fossil to estimate the relative age of the fossil being studied.
This fossil is called a index fossil. It is a species that is easily recognizable, widespread, and existed for a short period of time. By determining the age of the rock layer where the index fossil is found, geologists can establish the approximate age of the surrounding rocks.
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.
Radiometric dating is used to determine the age of fossils in rocks by measuring the decay of radioactive isotopes, such as carbon-14 or uranium-238, in the fossil. By comparing the amounts of the parent and daughter isotopes present in the fossil, scientists can calculate the age of the fossil. This method provides an approximate age of the fossil based on the rate of radioactive decay.
The absolute age of the index fossil was determine by radioactive dating or another absolute method

No. A credit card does not prove age or identity.
Scientists can use carbon dating to determine the age of a fossil.
The age of the oldest fossil on record is about 3.5 billion years old.
The absolute age of a fossil provides a specific numerical age in years, usually determined through radiometric dating techniques. Relative age, on the other hand, only allows us to determine the fossil's age in relation to other fossils or rocks, based on their layering or sequence in the rock record.
This fossil is called a index fossil. It is a species that is easily recognizable, widespread, and existed for a short period of time. By determining the age of the rock layer where the index fossil is found, geologists can establish the approximate age of the surrounding rocks.

It tells you the Age, Place is was from and the Species of the Fossil
the relative age of the rock where it was found.
You can determine the relative age of a fossil by looking at the position of the fossil in the rock layers. The closer a fossil is to the surface, the younger it is relative to fossils found deeper in the layers. To determine the absolute age of a fossil, scientists use radiometric dating techniques on the surrounding rocks to determine the age of the rock layer the fossil is found in.
16 but you have to have your parents with you and you have to have prove of your age.
Yes. Identity, age and citizenship.
