According to the principle of faunal succession, what must be true of the fossils on a layer below?



younger than the fossils above



older than the fossils in the layer above



the same age as the fossils in the layers above



identical to the fossils in the layers above

Verified Answer :

Answer:

older than the fossils in the layer above

Explanation:

  • The principle of the faunal succession describes that the fossils below must be of an older structure and hence in order to succeed the upper fossils must contain the layer of newer species that adds up to the geologic or geological diverse layered structure of rocks from below.  
  • In order to identify them are diagnostic species, those that are on the fastest rate of turnover and are widely distributed in this study are also called biostratigraphy i.e science of dating rocks by the comparison of fossil the ancient plants and animals.
  • Hence the classification of various taxas is possible.

According to the principle of faunal succession, the fossils on a layer below are B. older than the fossils in the layer above.

According to the principle of the faunal succession, the fossils that are below must be an older structure. Hence this depicts that the upper fossils will then contain the layer of newer species.

According to the principle of faunal succession, the assemblages of the fossil plants succeed each other in a timely and predictable manner.

Therefore, the fossils in the layer below are older than the fossils in the layer above.
