About this book

Integrated stratigraphy is essential for: detailed paleoecologic studies of critical intervals in Earth history; the calibration of the time scale for global use; and the establishment of Global Stratotype Sections and Points (GSSPs) for the definition of chronostratigraphic boundaries. This work constitutes an example of how interdisciplinary stratigraphic and geochronologic studies are approached with modern methodologies and techniques. It contains numerous unpublished radioisotopic dates of volcano-sedimentary layers interbedded in fossiliferous marine and continental Miocene sequences representing Mediterranean and Pacific environments. Detailed paleontologic data which constitutes the basis for an accurate definition of the Miocene biostratigraphy and the study of the ecologic evolution of Miocene marine environments are also included. This work should be of interest to stratigraphers, paleontologists and sedimentologists plus geologists working in oil companies.
