Stromatolites have been dated back to as far as 3.4 billion years ago, and are amongst the oldest known fossils found on Earth. Stromatolites are still present today, and can be found in very salty lakes, and marine lagoons.
The oldest fossil found on earth is 3.5 billion years old
The oldest documented fossil organisms date to roughly 3.8 billion years ago, shortly after the period of heavy asteroid bombardment in Earth's history.
The oldest stromatolites date back to the Archean, 3.5 billion years ago.

Stromatolites.
Wolves have changed some over the past 20 million years, but not by a huge amount. There are fossils of mosquitoes in amber that are remarkably similar to modern mosquitoes, though they are over 200 million years old. Coelacanth is a variety of fish for which modern specimens are somewhat similar to species that lived at the close of the Cretaceous, 65 million years ago. So there are a few creatures that have not changed a whole lot over vast stretches. Horseshoe crabs are yet another example, for which there are specimens over 440 million years old.
Relative dating-comparing fossils related to how old other fossils are in the same sample of rock. If the rock has been undisturbed, the oldest rock will be at the bottom, therefore, the oldest fossils will also be at the bottom. the youngest rock will be at the top, therefore, the youngest fossils will be at the top. Absolute Dating-When you can figure out through testing the exact age of the fossil
The oldest Homo sapiens sapiens fossils found are approximately 300,000 years old. These fossils were discovered in Jebel Irhoud, Morocco.
