Answer:

Fossil B is most likely older than Fossil A

Step-by-step explanation:

Fossil B was found deeper in the ground than Fossil A.

If I drop a bone in soil, over time it will settle deeper and deeper down in the earth's surface.

The species of Fossil A is could not have evolved from Fossil B because evolution is not real. The fossil record shows absolutely 0 evidence of evolution over time. All organisms did not come from one cell, they were created individually. If evolution was real wouldn't we see change in humans over time? Wouldn't we see new species popping up everywhere we look? Just because species look the same does not mean that they evolved from one another. For example, if you were creating 10 different species of animals for yourself, and you had a plan that they would all have a pair of eyes and be able to see, wouldn't you put eyes in all of your creations?

Fossil A could not be older than Fossil B because it has settled for a shorter period of time, and is higher up to the surface.

If the two species existed at the same time, they would be at equal heights in the soil.

This leaves only Fossil B to be older than Fossil A which would explain settling over time causes the older fossil to be deeper in the earth.
