Fossils and Relative Dating

___C__ 1. Using the diagram below, which of the following

fossils (A, B or C ) is the oldest? How do you know?

At the bottom

_____ 2. What is the order of the layers? Which relative dating

technique(s) did you use to figure out the order of
the layers?
Top younger bottom older
Index fossils

Examine the following diagrams.

Columns I and II contain rock layers A, B, C and D, E, F.
Both columns were taken from the same dig site.

3. Which two layers are of approximately the same

age? How do you know?

C and D share same index fossils

4. Which layer is the oldest? How do you know?

F
Below C and D

5. Which layer is the youngest? How do you know?

Above C and D

1. From the information you have, can you tell exactly how old a fossil is?
Why or why not?
NO
Index fossils are used for relative dating not absolute dating

2. What is the age range you would assign the Circus bozoensis?
D- 2.1 myo

3. What is an index fossil ?

A fossil used as a key used to compare rock layers in different regions . The
age range of those fossils is known through radiometric dating of the rock.

4. What is a trace fossil ?

Indirect evidence of a fossil eg foot print

5. Which radiographic dating technique would you used to date these fossils
Carbon 14 or Potasium- argon dating ? Explain.

Potassium- argon dating – told old for carbon dating. Also no carbon in those
rocks.
