biostratigraphy

It is used in biostratigraphy as an index fossil.

It has a cosmopolitan distribution and is an important index fossil in biostratigraphy.

Additionally, if there is a succession of preserved fossils, biostratigraphy can be used.

Thus far, biostratigraphy has usually proved considerably more exact.

Microfossils are especially noteworthy for their importance in biostratigraphy.

It has uses in biostratigraphy; certain scratch patterns are unique to certain time intervals.

Biostratigraphy or paleontologic stratigraphy is based on fossil evidence in the rock layers.

The Quaternary subdivisions were defined based on biostratigraphy instead of paleoclimate.

Biostratigraphy based on inoceramids, nannoplankton or forams is more detailed.

These layers are distinguishable as having many fossils and are important for the study of biostratigraphy.

They are widely used in biostratigraphy.

Denkler and Harris used conodont biostratigraphy to confirm this.

The geological timescale was developed during the 19th century based on the evidence of biostratigraphy and faunal succession.

However, fossils of species that survived for a relatively short time can be used to match isolated rocks: this technique is called biostratigraphy.

In general most subdivisions of this series rely on biostratigraphy of trilobite zones.

We have managed to confuse ourselves for years with the jargon of lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy and the rest.

Since the presence of these cells would be tied directly to important geochemical events, they would make ideal organisms for biostratigraphy.

Much of his work focused on linking mammalian fossils to specific geologic formations, a field known as biostratigraphy.

Trilobites have provided important contributions to biostratigraphy, paleontology, evolution and plate tectonics.

In 1983 he was appointed Reader in Karoo Biostratigraphy by the university.

These geological formations have not been dated radiometrically, but scientists have used biostratigraphy to estimate their age.

The principle of faunal succession is used in biostratigraphy to determine each biostratigraphic unit, or biozone.

This is called biostratigraphy.

Stratigraphy and biostratigraphy can in general provide only relative dating (A was before B), which is often sufficient for studying evolution.
