What does the principle of faunal succession state?

• Absolute dating is required to determine the relative age of animals based on their fossils.

• Specific groups of organisms have followed one another in a definite sequence through the Earth's history.

• Rock layers with the same unique grouping of fossils are of the same geologic age.

• Fossils are deposited in approximately horizontal layers and spread out until they reach a barrier.
