There are two ways to find age of fossil
1.Carbon dating
2.By measuring the depth in which fossils are found.

anaszaidi:
Potassium argon method and electron spin resonance also
thank you
yes anas they can also be used to detect the age

Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the past.
Fossils are important evidence for evolution because they show that life on earth was once different from life found on earth today.
Usually only a portion of an organism is preserved as a fossil, such as body fossils (bones and exoskeletons ), trace fossils (feces and footprints), and chemofossils (biochemical signals).
Paleontologists can determine the age of fossils using methods like radiometric dating and categorize them to determine the evolutionary relationships between organisms.
How to detect the age of a fossil
Scientists combine several well-testedtechniques to find out the agesof fossils. The most important are Relative Dating, in which fossils and layers of rock are placed in order from older to younger, and Radiometric Dating, which allows the actual ages of certain types of rock to be calculated. Relative Dating.
