How does the principle of faunal succession assist the technique of relative dating?

It provides a defined order to the succession of organisms.

Explanation: Relative dating of rocks involves the relative or comparative determination of age with reference to past events. There are several principles involved in carrying out relative dating. Some of these principles are:1. Principle of inclusion2. Principle of inclusion 3. Principle of fossil and fauna succession The Principle of fossil and fauna succession postulates that fossil and fauna succeeds one another in a definite pattern. It is this defined order that we use to achieve relative dating of rocks. Plant and animal remains constitutes the fauna and fossils used in dating the rocks. When we find a particular fossil in a rock, we can place that rock in its appropriate geological time. We can even go further by correlating rock types using their fossil contents.

helicase, i think thats it
