Stage boundaries, global stratigraphy, and the time scale: towards a simplification [PDF]
This paper examines four facets of stratigraphic terminology and usage considered faulty and proposes corrective measures. The four perfectible areas are: (1) The system of dual nomenclature requiring discrete terminologies for the superpositional and ...

A refined subdivision, based on fusulinids, of the Moscovian stage in southwestern Darvaz is proposed. Seven local zones, three in the Lower Moscovian substage and four in the Upper Moscovian substage were established, based on investigations of three ...

Belemnite-based strontium, carbon and oxygen isotope stratigraphy of the type area of the Maastrichtian Stage [PDF]
AbstractBelemnitellid cephalopods from the Maastrichtian stratotype area (southeast Netherlands) are shown to be comparatively well preserved. Although partial diagenetic alteration has been observed, micromilling techniques have permitted the extraction of pristine belemnite calcite, suitable for the reconstruction of strontium (Sr), oxygen (O) and ...

Astronomical calibration of the Toarcian Stage: Implications for sequence stratigraphy and duration of the early Toarcian OAE [PDF]
The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE) of the early Jurassic period involves one of the largest perturbations of the carbon cycle in the past 250 Ma, recorded by a pronounced negative carbon-isotope excursion (CIE). Numerous studies have focused on potential causes of the T-OAE and CIE, but are hampered by an uncertain timescale.

Trans-Atlantic dinoflagellate cyst stratigraphy across the Cenomanian–Turonian (Cretaceous) Stage boundary [PDF]
Abstract. The principal palynological proxy for the Cenomanian–Turonian Stage boundary, the top of consistent/common Litosphaeridium siphoniphorum (a dinoflagellate cyst), occurs in Greenhorn Bed 73 at the international stratotype section, west of Pueblo, Colorado, USA.

Foraminiferal stratigraphy of raised marine deposits, representing isotope stage 5, Prins Karls Forland, western Svalbard [PDF]
Two raised marine sequences from Prins Karls Forland, western Svalbard, interpreted to have been deposited during part of isotope substage 5e (Eemian) and substage 5a, were studied for foraminifera content. Time constraints are given by 14C ages, infrared stimulated luminescence age estimates and amino acid ratios in subfossil marine molluscs.

Progress, Problems and Prospects on the Stratigraphy and Correlation of the Kungurian Stage, Early Permian (Cisuralian) Series [PDF]
Abstract:The Kungurian Stage is one of the three remaining stages of the Permian that is not yet defined at the base by a Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP). The candidate section at the Yuryuzan' River in the Urals yields few conodonts, and contains non‐marine sediments near the boundary. The search for a suitable, continuous marine succession

The relationship between the loess stratigraphy in the Vojvodina region of northern Serbia and the Saalian and Rissian Stage glaciations – a review [PDF]
The regional loess stratigraphy in the Vojvodina region, in the southeastern Carpathian Basin, has often been successfully correlated to the global palaeoclimate. This is a quasi‐continuous sedimentary record that provides detailed environmental reconstruction during the last four glacial/interglacial cycles.

Sequence stratigraphy of the Upper Miocene Stage IVC in the Labuan-Paisley Syncline, northwest Sabah Basin [PDF]
A sequence stratigraphic study of the Upper Miocene Stage IVe has been carried out in the Labuan-Paisley Syncline, Northwest Sabah Basin with the aim of identifying new hydrocarbon plays in the study area. The Stage IVe contains up to 4,000 m thick, clastic sediments deposited in coastal plain to bathyal environments probably between 8.2 Ma and 10.5 Ma
