Interpreting these finds requires even more skill. The age of a fossil can often be determined by analyzing the layer of rock or soil in which it was found and determining, often by the so-called potassium-argon method, just how old the layer is. Interpreting the messages of the fossil is usually more difficult. ; The first step in studying a fossil, ; which is often fragmented, is to separate -it from its rock or soil matrix. Next the ! fragments are assembled, a task considerably harder than putting together a jigsaw puzzle with pieces all the same color...
