1 carbon dating
This is the most common and accurate way of determining the age of fossil and it is also accurate. In this method we would calculate the ratio of the isotopes of the elements present in the fossil especially carbon.
2 relative method
In this method the depth at which the fossil is found matters. If the fossil is found at great depths then it would be very old fossil and vice versa
