The age of a rock layer (or the fossils that layer includes) in comparison to the ages of other strata is referred to as its relative age. It is possible to ascertain this by analysing the orientation of the rock strata. The numerical age of a layer of rocks or fossils is referred to as its absolute age. An age range that falls somewhere in between the ages of the two volcanic strata will serve as a proxy for the age of the fossil.
