FOSSILS- Evidence from Once-living Organisms. Fossils found in SEDIMENTARY ROCKS The lower the sediment layer is, the older the fossils of the layer will.

Evidence for Evolution - Fossils Can get relative dates using geologic principles - older layers are at the bottom, younger layers at the top Fossils that.
