Can you tell the age of the earth from fossils?
no but you can tell the age of the fossil from the age of the rock around it, you cant tell the age of the earth from fossils is because animals with bones were didnt exist until later in the earth's "life"
How do you estimate the age of the Earth using fossil record?
Cannot be done as the Earth is much older than the oldest fossils.
Do fossil records indicate there has been life on earth for 6 billion years?
A:No. The earliest evidence of life on earth is probably less than 3 billion years. The earth itself is only about 4.5 billion years old.
What is the relative age of a fossil that can be determined by comparing it to an index fossil is called?
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.
Could you tell the relative age of a fossil if layers of rock have been shifted by earthquake?
No, determining the relative age of a fossil relies on its position within the layers of rock, known as stratigraphy. If layers have been disrupted by an earthquake, it becomes challenging to establish the sequence of deposition accurately, making it difficult to determine the fossil's relative age relative to other fossils.

What are 3 things can fossil tell us?
It tells you the Age, Place is was from and the Species of the Fossil
Why is the knowledge of a fossil age so important?
to figure out how long the earth has been around.
Is fossil living?
A fossil is a remnant or trace of an organism of a past geologic age, such as a skeleton or leaf imprint, embedded and preserved in the earth's crust. == ==

What fossil records tell about seedless plant that lived on earth long ago?
What fossil records tell about seedless plants that lived on earth long ago?
How do you tell how old a fossil is by the rock layer?
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.
What is the relationship between the age of fossil and what level it is found in the earth?
In general ; the deeper its found the older it is.
How rocks layer useful in determining the age of the earth?
they are useful by showing where the fossil is buried then on that certain layer, it will be studied to know the age.
If the relative age of a fossil is known what else is known?
Knowing the relative age of a fossil helps determine its position in relation to other fossils. It does not give an exact age but provides insights into the sequence of events in Earth's history. To obtain more precise age information, techniques like radiometric dating can be used.
How do you make an fosill on alchemy on iPhone?
Fossil = butterfly + earth fossil = fern + earth Fossil + life = Zombie :)
