These cards are illustrations of foraminifera from Tertiary sediments of coastal Ecuador. Cut the cards up along the dividing lines to make a complete set of cards labeled A-L.

3.2 In the earliest 1800s, William Smith in England and Georges Cuvier in France used the successions of faunas in stratified rocks for mapping. This led to the development of the principle called the law of faunal succession: distinct faunas succeed one another regularly in the rocks. Why fossil faunas work this

Faunal Succession The layers of sedimentary rocks in any given location contain fossils in a definite sequence; the same sequence can be found in rocks elsewhere, and hence strata can be correlated between locations (William Smith). Foraminifera Single-celled marine organisms with shells.
11 Απρ 2024 · Principle of Faunal Succession Because of the way evolution has influenced life on Earth, there is a distinct sequence of appearances of organisms through time. This sequence of life begins four billion years ago, with the appearance of single-celled prokaryotic microbes.
Faunal succession involves using fossilized animal remains to identify chronological sequences in archaeological sites, while stratigraphy relies on analyzing soil layers to determine relative ages. Faunal succession focuses on biological evidence, whereas stratigraphy emphasizes geological context.
