Scientists used radiometric dating and other fossil evidence to look for the Tiktaalik fossils. They already had prior knowledge that the aquatic vertebrates first moved to land between 380 to 363 million years ago. They looked for sedimentary rock layers that match this age and started the search for the fossils from there.

Explanation:

Barrier islands are islands in front of the mainland that separate part of the sea from the open sea. They lie parallel to the coast and have an elongated, narrow shape. On the sea side, dunes often shape the surface, on the land side they are flat. They were created by deposits of waves, currents and wind. Their formation requires a shallow coastal fore, a sufficiently large sediment store and a weak to moderate tidal range.
