What Wikipedia says

Un fossile stratigraphique est un fossile caractéristique d'une époque géologique délimitée dans le temps. En stratigraphie de terrain, il permet la datation relative de la ou les couches dans lesquelles il se trouve, grâce à une existence courte à l'échelle géologique mais une aire d'expansion étendue.
