How might the layers found in sedimentary rock help scientists learn more about dinosaurs and other extinct species?

Layers found in sedimentary rock could help scientists learn more about dinosaurs and other extinct species because each rock layer can be used to time date. The "oldest" being at the bottom and "newest" at the top. A scientist would also be able to tell which organisms lived together by looking at these layers

Explanation:

organisms that lack symmetry are called asymmetrical and belong to phylum porifera/sponges.

organisms with specialized stinging cells belong to phylum cnidaria. stinging cells are called cnidoblast cells.

cnidarians show two morphological forms : polyp (sessile) and medusa (mobile)

filter feeding is observed in porifera members.  

alternation of generation is observed in coelenterata or cnidaria. there is alternation of asexual polyp form and sexual medusoid form. it is also referred as metagenesis.

micro/nanoscale topography surface exhibits many prominent properties and is extensively employed in biomedical device, microfluidic device and energy device fabrication. additionally, the clinical applications of biomaterials can be largely expanded with of nanostructured surfaces.
