CONT

Il arrive souvent qu'au lieu d'un seul fossile [caractéristique], on en trouve plusieurs et qu'ils appartiennent à des espèces variées; on aura alors une «faune caractéristique». On pourra ainsi établir les raccords, les dates et les synchronismes, non plus sur une seule espèce, mais sur un ensemble.
