The vast majority of fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Fossils are they key to understanding what living things used to be like.
it was chainmail
Go Underground used the Explorer Kit. There is a man in-game who teaches you all about Underground. You get the fossils by mining them out and awaken them by going to the town with the first gym

took me ages to find it but its (Foals - Spanish Sahara) :)
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.

Index fossils are used to compare the relative ages of fossils. These are fossils that are known to have lived during a specific time period, helping to date the rock layers in which they are found. By identifying and comparing index fossils, scientists can determine the relative ages of different rock layers and fossils.
An index fossil. An index fossil's age is known, allowing scientists to know the relative age of other fossils based on their position relative to the index fossil. (Ex. If a fossil is deeper in the earth, it is older than the index fossil)
If we know the age the respective organism is known to have occupied a certain region in the geologic past we can then correlate that to the rock its fossil was found in and consequently deduce the rock's relative age.
Index fossils are used to determine the relative age of rock layers. By studying the presence of these distinct fossils in different layers of rock, geologists can identify the relative age of the rocks and correlate them with other rock layers in different locations.
Index fossils can be used to help determine the relative age of rock layers. Index fossils are from species that only existed for a short time. Index fossils are found in rock layers. Trilobites and Graptolites are index fossils.
Fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layers by comparing the types of fossils found in different layers. Fossils of organisms that existed for a short period of time can be used to date layers of rock containing them. Geologic features such as fault lines and unconformities can also help determine the relative age of rock layers by showing where layers have been disturbed or eroded.
Fossils in rock layers can be used for relative dating, where older fossils are found in lower layers and younger fossils in higher layers. By comparing the fossils in different layers to known fossil sequences, scientists can estimate the age of the rocks. Fossils provide a timeline of life on Earth and can help determine the relative ages of rock layers.
Perhaps by carbon dating and by comparing with the evolution and dominance of various organisms in the geological time scale.
Paleontologists use fossils to determine the relative ages of rocks. Due to evolution the fossil assemblage in rocks changes over time and the different assemblages can therfore be used to place the rocks in which an assemblage is found in its place in the evolutionary sequence.
Index fossils are fossils of organisms that lived for a relatively short period and had a wide geographic distribution. By identifying these fossils in sedimentary rock layers, scientists can determine the relative age of the rock based on the known age range of the index fossil. Absolute age dating techniques, such as radiometric dating of igneous rocks that bracket the sedimentary layers containing the index fossils, are then used to determine the exact age of the sedimentary rock.
