Annual Report 2007 of the Rupelian/Chattian Boundary Stratotype Working Group Tasks of the Italian scientific community were to search for GSSPs of the Lower-Upper Oligocene Transition. Investigations on both transitions have been undertaken by a number of researchers from several Italian Universities (i.e. Padua, Ferrara, Urbino, Milan) and CNR Institutes as well as from some […]

Report on activities of the WG on North Pacific Paleogene in 2003-2004: 1. A field work was organizied to enable Russian and Japanese geologists (paleontologists and lithologists) to examine the key Paleogene sections of northeastern Kamchatka and North Japan (Hokkaido). The sections were sampled for microfaunal (foraminifers and diatoms) analyses. The samples are under study […]
Annual Report 2005 of the Working Group on Paleogene Stratigraphy of the North Pacific In summer 2005 the Working Group on North Pacific Paleogene conducted fieldworks in Sakhalin to study a) Cretaceous-Paleogene transitional beds and b) marine Oligocene sequences. We collected extensive paleontological and litological material for future investigations. A large collective monograph describing stratigraphy, […]
