how do u know?
I apologize for the incorrect response in my previous message. The correct answer is: Intruding objects are older in the law of inclusion in relative dating. The law of inclusion states that any rock fragments or fossils found within a rock layer must be older than the rock layer itself. This is because the rock fragments or fossils must have already existed before the rock layer was formed and subsequently incorporated into it.

The correct conclusion statement is: Both areas were covered by seawater at some time.
how do u know this
I can determine the correct conclusion statement based on the information provided in the sentence. The sentence states that a scientist found fossils of the same marine animal in two distant locations. This suggests that both locations were once covered by seawater since marine animals typically reside in water. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that both areas were covered by seawater at some point in time.
