Compared to absolute dating, what is a disadvantage of relative dating? Fossils must be in undisturbed rock layers to determine age. Age, in years, cannot be determined for an individual fossil. Age can be determined by comparing the depth of one rock layer to another. Two or more fossils must be compared to determine age.
