Why would fossils found at the top of a canyon probably be younger than those found at the bottom of the canyon?

The fossils found at the top of a canyon will probably be younger than those at the of the bottom of the canyon because the fossils at the bottom of the canyon would have been there earlier when the so called "canyon" was once a flat land, so as time went by, the flat land began growing and getting taller and finally became a canyon so the fossils at the top of the canyon WOULD be younger than those at the bottom because the bottom fossils were there before the top of the canton even existed.

There are two reasons why the lodging to the Grand Canyon is found at the top. First and foremost, it is logistically more convenient as more tourists visit the top than the bottom.

Where was the material eroded from the grand canyon deposited?

The material eroded from the Grand Canyon was deposited on a plain. Over many years, water eroded the plain creating a canyon later known as the Grand Canyon. The water kept weathering down the rocks until it came down to a lower level way below the top of the Grand Canyon. That is why today we have a higher and lower part of the Grand Canyon. Overall, the Grand Canyon started out as a plain and as many years passed water weathered down the rocks.

How did the tops of the Grand Canyon become flat?

The flat tops of the Grand Canyon were formed through millions of years of erosion by water and ice.
