Relationships of sedimentary rocks, sequence stratigraphy and terminology

Nomenclature of relationships of sedimentary rocks, sequence stratigraphy and terminology, eustatic cycles, definitions of formation and its multiples, geochronologic and chronostratigraphic compared, stage definition, GSSP (Golden spike) main fossil groups for biostratigraphy

 

Law of superposition, formations are lithologic, stages basically biostratigraphic, but tied to paleomagnetic reversals, Milankovich cycles, eustatic cycles and sequence stratigraphy. For correlation fossils are best, but well logs aid. Report presentation.
