Which New York State index fossil may have been present in a rock layer that is missing due to the unconformity?
The trilobite species Eldredgeops rana is a common New York State index fossil found in Devonian rock layers. If a rock layer containing this index fossil is missing due to unconformity, it suggests a gap in the rock record where deposition ceased, erosion occurred, and then new sediment layers were deposited on top.
What is the chronological collection of life's remains found in layers of rock?
The answer is the fossil record :D
If in the Grand Canyon walls if a fossil imprint of a leaf is lower than a shell fossil does that mean that the leaf fossil is older than the shell fossil?
Not necessarily. The relative position of fossils in the rock layers can provide clues about their age, but it is not a definitive indicator. To determine the actual age of the fossils, scientists often use radiometric dating techniques and other methods to establish a more accurate timeline.
A fossil that is widespread geographically but only occurs in one or a small number of rock layers is called?
an intrusive fossil
What cuased earth to develop layers as it cooled?
the clear logical answer is that it was made 5 billion years ago and i qoute the logical answer
A fossil that is used to date surrounding rock layers is?
This is called an index fossil.

How are sedimentary layers used to date fossils?
Stratigraphic layers can be used to determine the age of a fossil in a simple manner. The layers towards the top of an outcrop are younger (Law of Superposition and Law of Original Horizontality) and the layers near the bottom are older. If a fossil is found in a lower layer then that fossil is older than any fossils found in the higher up layers.
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of?
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of sedimentation.
What is a fossil used to date surrounding rock layers called?
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.

How the relative age of a fossil is determined by studying layers of rock?
It is determined because in layers of rocks the fossils are found so the layers of rocks give information to the scientist about the age of a fossil so like that the relative age of a fossil is determined.
Layers containing the rods and cones?
retina
What is logical channel?
logical channel is a communication line between the layers in a network hierarchy that is used to transfer data among the layers . gaurav thakur UIIT for free computer science books visit www.amazingtechnologies.blogspot.com
What is a carbonised fossil?
a carbonised fossil that has still has carbon in them
