Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Knowing the relative ages of two formations allows us to infer their relative position in a sequence of rock layers. This means we can determine which formation is older or younger than the other based on their position in the rock record. However, we cannot determine their absolute ages or fossil assemblages without additional information. Lithologies (rock types) may vary within and between formations and are not necessarily linked to their relative ages.
