Faunal assemblage

Group of associated animal fossils found together in a given stratum

In archaeology and paleontology a faunal assemblage is a group of animal fossils found together in a given stratum. In a non-deformed deposition, fossils are organized by stratum following the laws of uniformitarianism and superposition, which state that the natural phenomena observable today also apply to the paleontological record and that the oldest stratum will be at the bottom of a paleontological deposit.
