Klappentext zu „Discrete Biochronological Time Scales “
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).Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Discrete Biochronological Time Scales “

Pressezitat
"The book by Guex et al. is simulating reading that can be recommended to big professionals in stratigraphy, especially those dreaming about new-age research. Some other geologists and graduate students with very advanced knowledge will also find this writing useful." Dmitry A. Ruban, Zentralblatt für Geologie und Paläontologie, 3-4, 2016)
