  "definition": "Relating to the use of fossils to determine the relative age of rock strata and to correlate geological formations across different locations. This method relies on the principle of faunal succession, where specific fossil assemblages appear and disappear in a predictable order. Biostratigraphic markers are used to establish chronostratigraphic frameworks in sedimentary basins.",
