... the lower strata. You must try to understand how fossils are formed. Not every organism that dies gets fossilized. You need an environment where sediments can cover a dead organism (quickly) and conditions that will prevent its complete destruction once buried. This doesn't happen everywhere ...

... by geological processes the same way. If the ratios change toward the life-preferred isotopes, that's an indirect bit of evidence that the sediments that formed those layers, even if you can't find microfossils in them, had a lot of formerly living things in them.
