Answer:
Two methods of determining the age of fossils are:
Relative method: By estimating the age of the layer of earth's crust where the fossil is found. ...
Radio-carbon dating method: By detecting the ratios of different isotopes of carbon in the fossils.
Explanation:
Fossils are formed in a number of different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.
