The GSSP Method of Chronostratigraphy: A Critical Review
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 The use of boundary stratotypes to define chronostratigraphic units began in the 1960s, and, in the 1980s, these were called Global Stratotype Sections and Points (GSSPs). Approximately two-thirds of the GSSPs of the bases of the Phanerozoic stage (71 of

The Palaeolithic sequence of the Arma dell’Aquila (Finale Ligure, Savona, North-western Italy)
Materiale și Cercetări Arheologice, 2021 The excavations carried out in the rock-shelter of Arma dell’Aquila by C. Richard in 1938 and 1940 led to the discovery of a thick stratigraphy, the lowermost deposit of which yielded evidence of different periods of Upper Palaeolithic occupation.

A cold laboratory hyperspectral imaging system to map grain size and ice layer distributions in firn cores [PDF]
The CryosphereThe Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are covered in a layer of porous firn. Knowledge of firn structure improves our understanding of ice sheet mass balance, supra- and englacial hydrology, and ice core paleoclimate records.

Stratigraphy of Aptian and Albian Stages in the central part of Moesian Platform
Geologica Balcanica, 1990 Aptian Stage is widespread in the Central North Bulgaria, while the Albian is established only in the northern regions. The Aptian sections are built up of sediments of the Trambes and Svištov Formations. It has been established that the Trâmbeš and Svištov Formation join laterally along the line Svištov-Tatari-Osilm.

Belemnite-based strontium, carbon and oxygen isotope stratigraphy of the type area of the Maastrichtian Stage [PDF]
Netherlands Journal of Geosciences - Geologie en Mijnbouw, 2011 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 ...

Chemostratigraphy of Neoproterozoic carbonates: implications for 'blind dating' [PDF]
, 2001 The delta C-13(carb) and Sr-87/Sr-86 secular variations in Neoproteozoic seawater have been used for the purpose of 'isotope stratigraphy' but there are a number of problems that can preclude its routine use.

Astronomical calibration of the Toarcian Stage: Implications for sequence stratigraphy and duration of the early Toarcian OAE [PDF]
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2014 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.
