In undisturbed rock, lower layers are older and upper layers are younger. This principle, called the law of superposition, guides the relative dating of fossils found in different layers. In other cases, however, layers of rock can be overturned and their order from top to bottom reversed. What method can be used to identify the ages of fossils if their positions in the rock layers have been disturbed? Examination of vestigial structures The theory of continental drift Radiometric dating Cytochrome c examination
