William Smith's theory in geology is known as the Principle of Faunal Succession. He proposed that fossils found in rocks can be used to determine the relative age of the rocks. This theory formed the basis for stratigraphy, the study of rock layers and their sequence of formation, and greatly contributed to the development of the geologic time scale.
