The laws of stratigraphy are some of the best ways we have of understanding rock and sediment layers.. Biogeography | Homologies. Learning Objectives.

What we will learn about Fossils?. We will learn how fossils form?. What types of fossils exist?. How do scientists determine the age of fossils?. What do fossils reveal to scientists?.
