Geologists can either use relative dating in which they relate the position of the fossils they found in strata to other substances found in other layers of the earth’s crust, for which they know the date. There is also absolute dating in which geologists use “radioactive dating” to determine the absolute age of fossils or any specimen they wish to date.
