Question

Now it’s your turn to take on the role of a paleontologist, or a scientist who studies fossils. You will try to combine information about rock layers and their unique fossils from several different areas. Create one sequence that lists all the rock layers from oldest to youngest. For each region, you are given only a few rock layers with their fossils. If two rock layers from two different regions have the same fossils, this means the rock layers are the same age. In the space provided, list all the fossils by name, from oldest to youngest. Remember, older fossils are in rock layers below younger fossils.
