Question

Imagine that you are hiking and discover an outcrop of sedimentary rock. The rock is arranged in three distinct layers that appear to be undisturbed. When you examine the layers more closely, you observe fossils in the bottom and middle layers. What inferences can you make about these fossils based upon your observations and your knowledge of the law of superposition?

Answer 1

The age of fossils are in millions.

Step-by-step explanation:

These fossils were present on the earth millions of years ago due to different and unique structure of the fossil. The fossil is present in the bottom of the middle layer indicates that the more age of fossil i.e. millions of years according to the law of superposition. This law states that in an undisturbed layers of rocks, the top layer is the younger layer than middle and bottom layers which is older than the top layer, so we can say that fossils from deeper layers are older than fossils from the top layers of rocks.
