The crust. There are no fossils in the core as the outer core is liquid and no organisms have lived on the inner core.
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.
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.
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).
Fossils found in the rock layer are the most accurate method for pinpointing a time period on the geologic time scale. By identifying the specific types of fossils present, scientists can determine the age of the rock layer relative to the known age ranges of those fossils.
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
Fossils are not found in the soil. They are found in layers of rock after time.

It is usually older than the rock layer it is found under.

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.
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.
