Report 2005 of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group The work of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group during 2004 and 2005 has focused on identifying stratigraphic events which could serve as guide horizons for the base of the Bartonian. The early focus of the working group was on identifying a biostratigraphic event that could serve as […]

Report 2006 of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group The work of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group during 2006 has continued its focus on the base of magnetic polarity chron 19N as a guide horizon for the base of the Bartonian. For the base of chron 19N to be a useful guide horizon for the base […]

Report 2010 of the Lutetian/Bartonian Boundary Working Group Several scientists, coordinated by Coccioni (University of Urbino), re-investigated the Middle Eocene interval from the classical Contessa Highway section, near Gubbio, a possible candidate for the Bartonian GSSP. In search of a possible candidate section for the base Bartonian GSSP, the Middle Eocene sedimentary succession of the […]
Report 2011 of the Lutetian/Bartonian Boundary Working Group In search of a possible candidate section for the base Bartonian GSSP, the Middle Eocene sedimentary succession of the Contessa Highway section (CHS, near Gubbio, central Italy), was re-visited. Historically, this section has been the focus of important biostratigraphic studies on calcareous plankton (foraminifera and nannofossils) and […]
