Index fossils are fossils used to define and identify geologic periods (or faunal stages). Index fossils must have a short vertical range, wide geographic distribution and rapid evolutionary trends. Another term, Zone fossil is used when the fossil have all the characters stated above except wide geographical distribution, they
Because animals evolve over time, some fossils are typical of a particular time in the Earth's history. These fossils are very useful for us because we can use them to date the layers of rock that they are found in. Fossils that can be used in this way are called index fossils, and rock layers with the same index fossils in them
rocks they are studying. The fossils present in a rock exposure or in a core hole can be used to determine the ages of rocks very precisely. Detailed studies of many rocks from many places reveal that some fossils have a short, well-known time of existence. These useful fossils are called index fossils. Today the animals and
canals to transport coal and iron around England. • Smith realized that certain rock layers had distinctive fossil assemblages and that a particular fossil species can be found only in a limited interval of strata. This is called the Principle of Fossil Succession. • Index Fossils - only lived during a very specific time interval.

Index fossils (also known as guide fossils, indicator fossils or zone fossils) are fossils used to define and identify geologic periods (or faunal stages). They work on the premise that, although different sediments may look different depending on the conditions under which they were laid down, they may include the remains of
Index fossils are commonly found, widely distributed fos- sils that are limited in time span. They are used for the determination of the age of organic rocks and other fossil assemblages and also help to establish relationships be- tween rock units. Index fossils of plant origin are very rare. In this article, I describe many of their

Igneous Rock and Sedimentary Layers. Sedimentary rock layers can also be disturbed by igneous rock. Molten rock from within Earth can force its way up through the layers above it, cooling and forming igneous rock. Because the sedimentary rock layers have to be present before the molten rock cuts through them, the
A CENTURY and a quarter have passed since William Smith's "Strata Identified by Organized Fossils" (1816–19), with its figures of some 160 British fossils, made the long-delayed announcement of the discovery indicated in its title. The subsequent correlation of sedimentary rocks throughout the world has largely
