Fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rocks by comparing the age of the fossil to the age of other fossils found in the same rock layer. Absolute age can be determined by using radiometric dating techniques, such as carbon-14 dating, to measure the amount of radioactive isotopes in the fossil or rock.
