Comprehensive Guide to Biostratigraphy: Principles, Index Fossils, and Stratigraphic Classification for Geological Studies
The characterization and correlation of rock units on the basis of their fossil content is called biostratigraphy. It is fundamentally different from a lithostratigraphic unit that is defined by the lithological properties of the rock. The concept of biostratigraphy is based on the principle that organisms have undergone successive changes throughout geologic time. Thus, any unit of strata can be…
