Book Chapter
Day, J., & Witzke, B. J. (2017). Upper Devonian Biostratigraphy, Event Stratigraphy, and Late Frasnian Kellwasser Extinction Bioevents in the Iowa Basin: Western Euramerica. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Stratigraphy & Timescales (243-332). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2017.08.002

Upper Devonian (Upper Frasnian) strata in the Iowa area (central United States) provide one of the best records in North America of Late Frasnian sea-level history and the associated Kellwasser Extinction Events within a detailed conodont biostratigr...

Challenging Darwin: Evolution of Triassic Conodonts and Their Struggle for Life in a Changing World (2017)
Book Chapter
Kılıç, A. M., Plasencia, P., Guex, J., & Hirsch, F. (2017). Challenging Darwin: Evolution of Triassic Conodonts and Their Struggle for Life in a Changing World. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Stratigraphy & Timescales (333-389). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2017.08.003

The phylogeny and distribution of Triassic conodonts reveal many aspects of their natural history. Conodonts incorporate the morphologic response to temperature as well as to eustatic cycles. Speciation, radiation, and extinction are not fortuitous a... Read More about Challenging Darwin: Evolution of Triassic Conodonts and Their Struggle for Life in a Changing World.

Integrated Stratigraphy of Triassic and Jurassic Formations in the Central Oman Mountains: A Synopsis (2017)
Book Chapter
Schlaich, M., Obermaier, M., Bendias, D., & Aigner, T. (2017). Integrated Stratigraphy of Triassic and Jurassic Formations in the Central Oman Mountains: A Synopsis. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Stratigraphy & Timescales (411-436). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2017.07.004

The Triassic Mahil Formation and the Lower Jurassic Lower Mafraq Member are part of the AP6 (Arabian Plate) tectonostratigraphic mega-sequence. The overlying Mid- to Upper Jurassic Upper Mafraq Member, Dhruma, Tuwaiq Mountain, Hanifa and Jubaila form...

Ordovician Sequence Stratigraphy of the Siberian and Russian Platforms (2017)
Book Chapter
Dronov, A. (2017). Ordovician Sequence Stratigraphy of the Siberian and Russian Platforms. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Stratigraphy & Timescales (187-241). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2017.07.005

The comparative analysis of the Ordovician successions of the Siberian and North American platforms demonstrates a striking similarity in the long-term lithological development and the sea-level curve interpretation. On both platforms, the Ordovician... Read More about Ordovician Sequence Stratigraphy of the Siberian and Russian Platforms.

Sequence Stratigraphy: Guidelines for a Standard Methodology (2017)
Book Chapter
Catuneanu, O. (2017). Sequence Stratigraphy: Guidelines for a Standard Methodology. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Stratigraphy & Timescales (1-57). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2017.07.003

The interplay of local and global controls on accommodation and sedimentation generates basin-specific sequence stratigraphic frameworks that record cyclicity at multiple scales. There are no temporal or physical standards for the scale of any type o... Read More about Sequence Stratigraphy: Guidelines for a Standard Methodology.

Sequence Stratigraphy and Geologic Time (2017)
Book Chapter
Miall, A. D. (2017). Sequence Stratigraphy and Geologic Time. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Stratigraphy & Timescales (59-83). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2017.06.001

The maturation of sequence stratigraphy and the development of a refined geological timescale have provided the basis for much more detailed stratigraphic reconstructions than were possible as little as a decade ago. Earlier studies showing that meas... Read More about Sequence Stratigraphy and Geologic Time.
