Question

This simulation contains rock layers and fossils from several different locations. Examine the fossils and rock features of each layer. Arrange the rock layers in the correct order, from oldest at the bottom to youngest at the top. Rock layers from different locations but the same age should be placed next to each other in the same layer. Once a fossil disappears, it’s gone from the fossil record and does not reappear.

Answer 1

In this case, mentions samples from different places so we cannot expect that sediments match exactly as each place has different conditions, nonetheless, fossil records must match as life was extended among different places. In the image, we can see a clear progression in age among the different rock layers starting with organisms in the Cambrian and ending with organisms at the end of the Mesozoic era, in fact, all organisms belong to this era from Cambrian to Permian so the order is as follows.
