from two parents.

have older parents.

Which conclusion does this diagram BEST support?
Both organisms lived at the same time because the fossils they formed were found in rock layers of
about the same depth.

The earthquake that caused the fault most likely killed both organisms because the fossils formed
during the time of the earthquake.
The fault formed while Organism X was living and after Organism Y had died because the fault is
located between the two fossils.
