Strata can differ in terms of their composition, thickness, and arrangement. Composition refers to the types of sediments or rocks found in the strata, such as sandstone or shale.

Arrangement refers to the way strata are stacked or layered, which can be horizontal, tilted, or folded.

How is a trilobite fossil and the age of the rock which it is found an example of how evolutionists use circluar reasing?

If the age of a certain rock strata is found by the use of isotopic methods and another nearby strata is found to contain trilobite fossils, assuming there is no unconformity between the two strata we can infer the approximate age of the trilobites within certain parameters.


Which is older deep strata or shallow strata?
