    Biostratigraphy

    Explanation:

    Biostratigraphy is a phenomenon that uses fossils that are used to find out the age of rock and the fossils. This is the success of the fossils sedimentary rock within the dis-positional basin.

    The geologic strata interval is characterized by the fossils taxa. These fossils are defined by the first appearances and the first apparent extinctions of the abundances of the fossils taxa.
