Extract

A systematic classification generally reflects accurately the state of knowledge of a group. As information concerning the group increases, both similarities and differences become more apparent. New characters then may be utilized to develop a more complex classification, that better serves to indicate presumed relationships. Assuming that organisms have evolved through time, the more detailed classification may also prove more valuable to the biostratigrapher.
