Principle of fossil and fauna succession The Principle of fossil and fauna succession postulates that fossil and fauna succeeds one another in a definite pattern. It is this defined order that we use to achieve relative dating of rocks. Plant and animal remains constitutes the fauna and fossils used in dating the rocks.
