Fossils of the same organism found at different locations formed in similar climates.
Fossils of the same organism found at different locations formed in similar climates.

Fossils were formed during a time when chemical processes operated differently.

Answer 1

Fossils in bottom layers are older than fossils in top layers.

(The law of superposition states that in undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, older layers lie beneath younger ones.)
