Answer to Question 1

The sedimentary rock is less than 100 million years old.

Answer to Question 2

Marker beds are dated with radiometric techniques. Marker beds that encompass a fossil zone in one
region can then be used to define the duration of that zone in regions where the marker beds do not
occur.
