Fossil layers can be a great way to tell the age of Earth's surface. By looking at the different layers scientists can estimate how old a certain rock formation is. Fossil layers can be different colors. The colors are determined by the type of rocks in the layer and the amount of minerals that were present when it was formed. Fossils can change over time. As the environment changes, the types of fossils found in the layers can change as well.
