They are called index fossils.
The absolute age of the index fossil was determine by radioactive dating or another absolute method
An index fossil. An index fossil's age is known, allowing scientists to know the relative age of other fossils based on their position relative to the index fossil. (Ex. If a fossil is deeper in the earth, it is older than the index fossil)
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.
This is called an index fossil.
They are called index fossils.
An index fossil is used as an indicator of which era/epoch was preserved. The major characteristic necessary to be an index fossil include abundance, widely distributed, but lived for a short period of time.
The absolute age of the index fossil was determine by radioactive dating or another absolute method
To be an index fossil, it must be widespread, commonly found (sometimes in groups) and have a short life span for which it lived. If a fossil meets all three of these requirements, it is considered an index fossil.

An index fossil is organisms that is a signature for certain geographical eras. Index fossils are a charting of time that is used to describe other organisms found in that time era. The fossils were found in the stones that are determinations by carbon indexing and therefore are index fossils.
Index Fossil
To be useful as an index fossil fuel, spices must have existed for about 1000 years.
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.
