Relative Age: comparison of ages – is it younger or older than the rocks/fossil layers around itoSuperposition – older rock is below
younger rockoIndex Fossils – fossils of organisms
that lived for a relatively short period of time
Relative vs Absolute Age

Absolute age: how long since the rock or fossil was formedoFound using radiometric dating

1. How many layers are there in your geologic column?
2. Which layer is oldest? Which layer is youngest? How do you know?
3. What fossil is the oldest?4. What fossils can be considered
index fossils? Why?
