Hi there✌️
Scientists combine several well-testedtechniques to find out the ages of 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.
⏹️ Hope it helps

we can know the age of fossils using 2 methods
1) relative method-by estimating the age of the layer of the earth's crust where fossil is found
2) radiocarbon dating method -this is done by detecting the ratio of different isotopes of the carbon in the fossils
