The branch of geology that studies the arrangement and succession of strata
Stratigraphy, a branch of geology, studies rock layers and layering (stratification). It is primarily used in the study of sedimentary and layered volcanic rocks. Stratigraphy includes two related subfields: lithologic or lithostratigraphy and biologic stratigraphy or biostratigraphy.
(stratigrapher) an expert in stratigraphy
(Stratigraphic) The study of rock strata, especially of their distribution, deposition and age.
(Stratigraphic) Describes the sequence of strata - A stratigraphic column illustrates the geological series with the oldest rocks at the bottom and the youngest ones on top, presented in an idealized section.
(Stratigraphic) lineages (ancestor and descendant populations) may shift in some traits or characteristics over time
The branch of geology concerned with the formation, composition, ordering in time, and arrangement in space of sedimentary rocks.
Stratigraphy is a method of dating fossils by observing how deeply a fossil is buried. Sedimentary rock layers (strata) are formed episodically as earth is deposited horizontally over time. Newer layers are formed on top of older layers, pressurizing them into rocks. ...
The layering of deposits in archaeological sites. Cultural remains and natural sediments become buried over time; the layer on the bottom is the oldest, the layer on top is the youngest.
