Question

in an area where a river has cut deep into earth, there are several layers of very different rock exposed
question
the oldest rock layer is most likely to be the layer that is -
the thickest layer.
the most rich in fossils
below the other layers. (on bottom)
igneous intrusive rocks

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to the principle of superposition in geology, in undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, the oldest layer is at the bottom. Thickness does not determine age. Fossil richness is not a reliable indicator of age for the entire layer. Igneous intrusive rocks can be younger than surrounding sedimentary layers if they intrude into them.

Answer:

Below the other layers. (on bottom)
