A geologist identifies the identical index fossils in rock layers from 2 different areas. What can be concluded?

• The deposition rate of the 2 layers was identical

• The fossil organism evolved independently in the 2 separate layers

• The two rock layers were deposited at approximately the same time.

• The index fossils will also occur in sediment deposited on top of these layers.
