The object of this book is to explain how to create a synthesis of
complex biostratigraphic data, and how to extract from such a
synthesis a relative time scale based exclusively on the fossil
content of sedimentary rocks. Such a time scale can be used to
attribute relative ages to isolated fossil-bearing samples. The
book is composed of 10 chapters together with several appendices.
It is a totally revised version of "Biochronological Correlations"
published in 1991 and includes various new chapters. The book
offers a solution for the theoretical problem of how fossils can be
used to make reliable quantitative stratigraphic correlations in
sedimentary geology. It also describes the use of highly efficient
software along with several examples. The authors compare their
theoretical model with 2 other relevant studies: probabilistic
stratigraphy and constrained optimization (CONOP).
