Question

evidence for evolution: fossils 1. drag and drop the fossils into age order - you will need to rotate them: 2. how did you know which fossil was the oldest?

Explanation:

In geology and paleontology, fossils found deeper in the ground are generally older as new layers of sediment accumulate over time. So, the fossil located at the deepest sedimentary layer is likely the oldest.

Answer:

The fossil in the deepest sedimentary layer is the oldest because, in general, fossils deeper in the ground are older due to the sequential deposition of sediment over time.
