Relative dating of sedimentary rock is location specific due to Differences in fish assemblages between a river and a lake. Sedimentary rocks form in layers, where the top layers represent more recent deposits than lower layers. Differences in sedimentation rates between different bodies of water. Differences in the rates of carbon 14 accumulation in fish from different water bodies.

Paleontology

A branch of science concerning the scientific study of life from ancient times is known as paleontology. The scientists working on paleontology are known as paleontologists. Paleontologists collect the fossils of organisms from ancient times to classify them. The paleontologists also study the environment from ancient times to study the interactions between different organisms.
