Biostratigraphic units
In stratigraphy have 3 kinds of unit are used
1. Lithostratigraphic units : defined by lithology of the beds. (fundamental unit = formation)
2. Chronostratigraphic units : defined by absolute age (fundamental unit = chronozone)
3. Biostratigraphic units : defined by paleontologic events (fundamental unit =biozone)
Biostratigraphic units are not mappable in the filds. To use them laboratory work is necessary
Different biozones :
- Range zone
- Partial range zone
- Concurrent range zone
