Answer 2

Fossils are the dead remains of living beings being burried inside the earth for over long time. They are formed by the action of water and temperature and other climatic conditions required. Micro-organisms too play an important role in this. To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.
