Scientists classify fossils based on various criteria, including their morphology, age, and the type of organism they represent. They often use a hierarchical system that includes domains, kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. Stratigraphy, or the study of rock layers, helps determine the relative ages of fossils, while radiometric dating can provide absolute ages. Additionally, fossils are categorized into body fossils (remains of the organism) and trace fossils (evidence of behavior, such as footprints).
