Integration of Biostratigraphic, Chronostratigraphic and Geochronologic Data from Jurassic Eugeoclinal Terranes-- Towards an Improved Geologic Time Scale

Pessagno和Blome将继续努力校准 北美洲西部的侏罗纪。 这项工作将 包括收集重要的微体化石群， 美国，加拿大和墨西哥。 该奖项的第三年将是 致力于对化石的正式描述， 在生物地层分带的细化中很重要。 时间刻度的校准和化石的描述将 为北美西部的相关事件提供了依据 与世界其他地方的人合作，并将提供有关 西北部大陆增生速率和时间 美国参考

Pessagno and Blome will continue their efforts to calibrate the Jurassic time scale in western North America. The work will involve the collection of important groups of microfossils from the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The third year of the award will be devoted to formal descriptions of the fossils that prove important in the refinement of the biostratigraphic zonation. Calibration of the time scale and description of fossils will provide a basis for correlation events in western North America with those elsewhere in the world and will provide information on the rate and timing of continental accretion of western North America.
