A principle holding that fossils, and especially groups or assemblages of fossils, succeed one another through time in a regular and predictable order is known as 4. is a principle holding that in a vertical sequence of undeformed sedimentary rocks, the relative ages of the rocks can be determined by their position in the sequence-oldest at the bottom followed by successively younger layers. According to this principle, sediments are deposited in horizontal or nearly horizontal layers which is known as the nQulay uncontorin A principle holding the rock layers extend outward in all directions until they terminate is 5. 6. known as is known as an association of sedimentary rocks defined by 7. its fossil content.
