stratigraphy
stratigraphy 1. The branch of the geologic sciences concerned with the study of stratified rocks in terms of time and space. It deals with the correlation of rocks from different localities. Correlation methods may involve the use of
fossils (
biostratigraphy), rock units (
lithostratigraphy), or
geologic-time units or intervals (
chronostratigraphy).
2. The relative spatial and temporal arrangement of rock strata.
