The option that is NOT a way that scientists use to determine the age of rock layers is "stone washing."
The other options—position of rock layers (relative dating), fossils (biostratigraphy), intrusion (cross-cutting relationships), and faults (displacement of layers)—are all methods used in the field of geology to assess the age and relative dating of rock layers. Stone washing, however, does not pertain to geological dating techniques.
