Question

Which conclusion is correct?
All rocks in both areas are the same age
Both areas were covered by water at some time
The fossils closest to earths surface are the old oldest

The correct conclusion is: Both areas were covered by water at some time.

This conclusion can be drawn because fossils of the same marine animal suggest that both locations were once part of a marine environment where that animal lived.
