(1) the validity of the principle of superposition; (2) the sequence of fossils are the same everywhere (3) rock layers of different ages will contain different types of fossils; and (4) the validity of the principle of original horizontality.
25. The Principle of Faunal Succession a) was first stated by Charles Darwin, b) was developed for the first time in Darwin's Origin of Species, c) was outlined prior to Darwin's hypothesis of Evolution, d) has been disproved by modern geological research, e) none of these. 26. The principle of faunal succession is based on the four assumptions of (1) the validity of the principle of superposition; (2) the sequence of fossils are the same everywhere (3) rock layers of different ages will contain different types of fossils; and (4) the validity of the principle of original horizontality.   .

Charles Darwin thought the Principle of Faunal Succession worked because a) organisms had evolved through time, b) God had placed the organisms in their proper order in the rocks, c) it was a lucky coincidence, d) everyone else thought it worked, too, e) William Smith said so. In 1799, Smith's employment with the canal-building firm came to an end. Smith then took a series of engineering jobs in several parts of Britain, and made a number of side trips all over England and Wales. His goal was to produce a complete geologic map of England and Wales, using the principles of fossil succession. Biostratigraphy Law of superposition-in any undisturbedsedimentary sequence the oldest bed is at thebase and the youngest is at the top.Faunal succession-biotas have followed oneanother in an orderly succession throughgeologic time.
