Challenging Darwin: Evolution of Triassic Conodonts and Their Struggle for Life in a Changing World (2017)
Book Chapter

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.

A Facies-Independent Trans-European Anisian–Ladinian Marker Horizon?: Significance and Impact for Sequence Stratigraphy and Intra-Tethyan Correlation (2017)
Book Chapter
Götz, A. E., & Montenari, M. (2017). A Facies-Independent Trans-European Anisian–Ladinian Marker Horizon?: Significance and Impact for Sequence Stratigraphy and Intra-Tethyan Correlation. In Advances in Sequence Stratigraphy

Transcontinental correlation of European carbonate systems that developed during the onset of the Mesozoic breakup of Pangaea remains difficult due to pronounced lateral facies variations and in many cases facies-dependent fossil groups used for bios...

Two Approaches to Sequence Stratigraphy (2017)
Book Chapter

Sequence stratigraphy is a stratigraphic discipline in which the defined stratigraphic surfaces represent either breaks in deposition or changes in depositional trend. Two approaches for defining sequence stratigraphic surfaces and units have evolved... Read More about Two Approaches to Sequence Stratigraphy.

Conceptual Models for Sequence Stratigraphy of Continental Rift Successions (2017)
Book Chapter

Due to the basins asymmetry and the subsidence controlled by one major fault zone, the accommodation space within a rift basin is variable, and the popular passive margin-based sequence stratigraphic scheme, where depositional systems tracts develop...

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.
