How the relative age of a fossil is determined by studying layers of rock?
Relative age of a fossil is determined by studying the position of the fossil in the rock layers. The principle of superposition states that in undisturbed layers of rock, the oldest rocks are found at the bottom and the youngest at the top. Fossils in lower layers are usually older than those in upper layers.

The oldest fossil ever found is a microbe-like organism called a stromatolite, which is estimated to be around 3.5 billion years old. It was discovered in Western Australia.
How is the absolute age of the fossil different from the relative age?
The absolute age of a fossil provides a specific numerical age in years, usually determined through radiometric dating techniques. Relative age, on the other hand, only allows us to determine the fossil's age in relation to other fossils or rocks, based on their layering or sequence in the rock record.
