Newer, younger

The sentence says “than fossils found in the deeper layers” The deeper fossils are older. “Than” is a contrasting word, so they’re looking for the opposite of deeper.

Newer layers of rock have younger fossils because fewer layers of dirt and rock have had a chance to compress on top of them.
