Paleontologists have traditionally used fossil data to provide information about the relative age, stratigraphic correlation, and [[Paleoenvironmental analysis|paleoenvironment]] (notably [[paleobathymetry]]) of sedimentary strata. The importance of these tasks remains high, but new approaches and technology have extended the applicability of biostratigraphic data to analyzing thermal maturation and sequence stratigraphy.
