Explain how a paleontologist might use absolute dating techniques to determine the age of a fossil

OpenStudy (rogue):

- Geologists can identify specific sedimentary rocks based on their position in layers and through mineral content and fossilized remains of certain organisms, called index fossils. Index fossils characterize a specific layer over large geographic areas. - Scientists can also use radioactive dating to accurately pinpoint the time period of certain things based on the remaining amounts of radioactive isotopes like Carbon-14, Potassium-40, Uranium-235, etc.
