Procedure 1 - Ask the famous paleontologist ! A person famous in that field would certainly be aware of the stratigraphy of the area. 

Procedure 2 - Have a detailed geologic map of the area with latitude and longitude so a GPS could quickly determine your position on the map and thus the age based on the map. 

Procedure 3 - Take samples of the rock back to the lab for radiometric dating techniques.
