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).
