Rocks
Need methods to:
1) determine the relative and absolute ages of rocks.
2) divide rocks into parts that canbe easily described.

Steno Principles
1 - Principle of Superposition.(Das Superpositionsprinzip.)
2 - Principle of Horizontality.(Das Horizontalitätsprinzip.)
3 - Principle of Lateral Continuity. (Das Lateralkontinuitätsprinzip.)

Unconformity(die Discordanz)
An unconformityis present when there is a
between a layer of sedimentary rock
and the underlying rocks.

Affect the area of the continents.
Eustatic - world wide.
Isostatic - local.

Note that the points then atsea level were not the land

Stratigraphy
Lithostratigraphy - the actual rocks.
Chronostratigraphy - the age.
Biostratigraphy - the fossil content.

EON (die Äon) - Archean, Proterozoic, Phanerozoic;
ERA (die Ära) - Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic occur in the Phanerozoic;
PERIOD (die Periode) - E. Palaeozoic - Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian; L. Palaeozoic - Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian; Mesozoic - Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous; Cenozoic - Palaeogene, Neogene, Quaternary.

Biostratigraphy - fossil data
Good biostratigraphic fossils are:
- easily found, everywhere;
- constrains time well;
- sharp boundaries.
Common
Short time range
Fast evolution/extinction

Invertebrates - macrofossils(e.g. ammonites)
