Answer:

  1. The two ways of finding the age of a fossil are relative and absolute dating.
  2. In relative dating, paleontologists use the fossil's location in layers of rock to find its approximate age.
  3. Absolute dating allows paleontologists to know the actual age of a fossil through using a element called carbon-14.
  4. The element carbon-14 is important for paleontologists because it allows them to get an exact age of a fossil instead of just an approximation.
