A keystone species is:

1. A common species that has plenty of biomass, yet has a fairly low impact on the community's organisation.
2. A rare species that has minimal impact on the biomass and on other species in the community.
3. A dominant species that constitutes a large proportion of the biomass and which affects many other species.
4. A species that makes up only a small proportion of the total biomass of a community yet has a huge impact on the community's organisation and survival.

The age of fossils in the past was generally determined by the radio-carbon method and other methods involving radioactive elements found in the rocks. More precise methods, which were used recently and led to the revision of the evolutionary periods for different groups of organisms include:

1. Study of the conditions of fossilization
2. Electron spin resonance (ESR) & fossil DNA
3. Study of carbohydrates/proteins in rocks
4. Study of carbohydrates/proteins in fossils
