What States that fossil organisms succeed one another in a definite and determinable order?
The principle of Fossil succession states that fossil organisms succeed one another in a definite and determinable order. Therefore, any time period can be recognized by its fossil content.

How does fossils size relate to faunal succession?
faunal succession is basically stating that the more complex something is, the younger it is. So the bigger the fossil is the younger it is.
