Question

Please choose the best description, or definition for Principle of Fossil Correlation

Answer 1

Answer:

states that rock layers with the same unique groupings of fossils are of the same geologic age.

Explanation:

The principle of fossil correlation states that the presence of similar fossils of dead organisms in rock layers indicates that the organisms under investigation must have existed around the same geologic time. This principle can be used in dating the periods when the organism being studied lived.

The geological age system follows a chronological format in tracking the age of an item under study by grouping the time periods that organisms lived into strata.
