Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Charles Lyell is best known for his work in geology, particularly the principles of geology and the concept of uniformitarianism, which posits that the Earth's features were shaped by continuous and uniform processes over time. Faunal succession, the idea that sedimentary rock layers contain fossilized flora and fauna in a definite sequential order, is more directly associated with William Smith, a British geologist and engineer, although Lyell did contribute significantly to the popularization and development of geological concepts including aspects of paleontology.
