14. Index Fossils are an important
tool scientists use to find the

15. Index Fossils
Fossils found in sedimentary rock can offer
clues about the age of the rock
An organism that is fossilized in rock must
have lived during the same time span in which
that rock was formed
16. Index Fossils

a fossilized organism lived, then they
could figure out the age of the rock in
which the fossil was found.
HOWEVER, not all fossils can be used to
date rocks. Why is this?
17. Index fossils

them around)
Lived in many areas (all over the world)
Existed only during specific spans of time
