Why is it important to know the age of a fossil?

Sagot :

Technically, it is important to know the age of a certain fossil in order to have the best scientific and usable information that a fossil can provide. These information can provide scientists a glimpse over what happened at the time of the death of the source of the fossil, such as the kind of environment during that time, the prevailing weather condition, or the type of habitat it had before it died.
