Are fossil is usually about the same age as the sediment layer in which it is found?
Yes, fossils are generally found in sedimentary rock layers that correspond to the time period during which the organisms lived. The principle of superposition indicates that older sediment layers are found beneath younger layers, so fossils typically reflect the age of the surrounding sediments. However, in some cases, fossils may be disturbed or reworked, leading to discrepancies in age. Overall, the sediment layer provides a useful context for dating fossils.
Which layer of the earth are fossils mostly found?
The crust. There are no fossils in the core as the outer core is liquid and no organisms have lived on the inner core.
What layer is an old fossil found?
Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rock layers, which are formed from the accumulation of sediments over time. Fossils are most commonly found in the mid to lower layers of sedimentary rock formations. The specific layer in which a fossil is found depends on the age of the fossil and the geological history of the area.
In which layer of rock shown below are the fossils the youngest?
The fossils are typically found in the uppermost layer of rock, as sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation of materials over time. Newer layers are deposited on top of older layers, meaning that the youngest fossils would be located in the most recent (top) strata. Therefore, the youngest fossils are in the layer that is highest in the sequence shown.
What are the five types of fossils that can be found in rock?
Five types of fossils found in rocks are petrified fossils (minerals replace organic matter), mold fossils (imprint of an organism), cast fossils (mold filled with minerals), carbon films (thin layer of carbon residue), and trace fossils (evidence of organism's activity).
What is the age of fossils that can be measured by what dating?
Fossils themselves can very rarely be dated by any means...their age is usually judged by the geological assessment of the area and layer in which they are found
What layer of soil was dinosaur bones found in?
Fossils are not found in the soil. They are found in layers of rock after time.

What is A fossil found under a layer of rock is usually .?
It is usually older than the rock layer it is found under.
What is a fossil found under a layer of rock is usually?
It is usually older than the rock layer it is found under.
Fossils of a species of bird are found in layer 3 Which layer is most likely to have organisms that lived at the same time as the bird species?
Layer 2
Fossils of a species of bear are found in layer 5. Which layer is most likely to have organisms that lived at the same time as the bear species?
layer5

Can fossils be used to determine the relative ages of rocks layers?
fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layer by using the classification of fossils to find the relative ages of rocks in which fossils are found. :] hoped i helped you out.
What do scientists use to mark boundaries in the geologic time scale?
I'm thinking it's index fossils because index fossils tell when or how old the layer it was found in. If that's what your asking.
