The law of fossil succession is the chronological sequence of complexity by which characteristics appear to develop, such as prokaryotes to eukaryotes, ferns to flowering plants, and invertebrates to vertebrates.
La ley de sucesión de fósiles es la secuencia cronológica de complejidad por la cual las características parecen desarrollarse, como de procariotas a eucariotas, helechos a plantas con flores e invertebrados a vertebrados.
