PART - A

125 marks
a

Write a short note on Biostratigraphic horizon (Biohorizon).

2 marks

Answer

A Biohorizon is a stratigraphic surface or boundary representing a significant change in the fossil content of a sedimentary sequence. It marks the first appearance, last appearance, or a notable change in the abundance or diversity of a specific taxon, serving as a marker for correlation.

b

Write a short note on the zonule.

3 marks

Answer

A zonule is the smallest unit of biostratigraphic classification, defined by the presence of a specific fossil assemblage or a single characteristic taxon. It represents a limited geographic or stratigraphic interval and is used for detailed local correlation within a larger biozone.
