The Principle of Paleontological Identity is the theory that the layers of sedimentary rocks around the world can be dated by the fossils which they contain. Based on this theory, two layers having the same fossils are regarded as having the same age. This principle is based on the existence of stratigraphic fossils. It is taken in theory to make it possible to correlate sedimentary sequences in distant areas from each other.
They studied fossils and applied the principle that old layers of rock are below young layers! -

The age of the rock layer
The Law of Fossil Succession states that fossil organisms originate, coexist, and disappear from the geologic record in a definite sequential order.
