Palaeontological data

Usually well logs are only one type of data used to establish a correlation. Any meaningful interpretation will need to be supported by palaeontological data (micro fossils) and... 

Since my work concurs at several points with the data presented in Vertes (1965) handbook, I will pay less attention to the localities of the Upper Pleistocene connected with archaeological finds and I refer the reader to the above-mentioned handbook, in which all the relevant palaeontological data are also fully included. Since the only archaeological locality older than the Upper Pleistocene is that of Vertesszolds, which Vertes treated only tangentially in his book, more attention is paid to that material here. 

The increasingly refined stratigraphy of freshwater limestones by means of geomorphology, absolute dating, etc., is supplemented by the following mosaic-like vertebrate palaeontological data. 

Despite many years of investigation directed toward these and other related questions (Baker, 1990 Carlson, 1991 Boucot and Wilson, 1994 Copper and Gourvennec, 1996 Williams et al, 1996 Alvarez and Carlson, 1998), the answers remain elusive. This is due, in part, to the fact that the phylogenetic methods available to us do not ideally suit the full range of palaeontological data available in the form of both morphological variation and relative stratigraphic (temporal) position. Traditional methods of evolutionary systematics (sensu Simpson, 1961) often have relied heavily on...

Coupled palaeontological and sedimentological studies were undertaken in order to establish a model of the faunal distribution versus facies stacking patterns related with the sea-level changes. The present results concern about 150 levels along the Seillou section (minor gaps in the data described in this study result from incompletely...

Since Darwin much very extensive and ingenious work has been done in the field of evolutionary studies, using palaeontological, morphological, embryological, and biogeographical data these studies have allowed us to picture the main historical steps and events of the evolutionary process. The efficacy of these classical methods, which gave a picture of what we may call macro-evolution, seems now to... 

Professor MacLeod is an internationally recognized leader in many areas of palaeontology. Prominent among these are (1) morphometries (the quantitative analysis of form variation), (2) the causes of Phanerozoic extinction events and (3) quantitative stratigraphical data analysis. Through his work in these areas, he has made significant contributions to the punctuated-equilibrium controversy and the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction controversy, as well as being personally responsible for the development of several new morphometric data-analysis techniques. He is the co-editor of...
