An assise (from the Fr., derived from Latin assidere, "to sit beside"), is a geological term for two or more beds or strata of rock united by the occurrence of the same characteristic species or genera.[1] In the hierarchy of stratigraphic units, an assise lies between a stage (or sub-stage) and a stratum.[2]
