A fossil can be used in finding the absolute age of rocks when it is used as an index fossil. An index fossil is a distinctive fossil species that is known to have lived only during a specific time period. By finding the index fossil in a rock layer, scientists can establish the age of that rock layer based on the known age range of the index fossil.
