There are three main types of correlation: Lithostratigraphic correlation - Matching up rock units on the basis of their lithology (composition, texture, color, etc.) and stratigraphic position. Biostratigraphic correlation - Matching up rock units on the basis of the fossils they contain. Chronostratigraphic correlation - Matching up rock units on the basis of age equivalence, as determined by radioactive dating methods. http://higheredbcs.wiley.com/legacy/college/levin/0471697435/chap_tut/chaps/chapter05-11.html
