The three concepts are summarized in the general principle called the Law of Fossil Succession: The kinds of animals and plants found as fossils change through time. When we find the same kinds of fossils in rocks from different places, we know that the rocks are the same age
Rocks are layered, so different rock layers = different times. If two fossils are in the same rock layer, then they must equal the same time or around the same time.
I hope this helped and if it did I would appreciate it if you marked me Brainliest. Thank you and have a nice day!
