Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. 360 pages. ' "Topics covered range from classical biostratigraphy to molecular biomarkers, by way of trace element and isotope chemostratigraphy, magnetic polarity and susceptibility, and a small number of papers describe some numerical methods. There is no bias here towards deep ocean sediment stratigraphy, and the Mesozoic and Palaeozoic are as well represented as the Tertiary and Quaternary The reader will certainly gain a good impression of the wide range of stratigraphic activities and subject areas in which improvements to resolution are being actively sought."

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 265 pages, [1] sheet) : illustrations (some colour), maps. 'Significant problems have arisen in the past with dating and correlating stratigraphical sequences impoverished in or barren of fossil remains, leaving major questions in stratigraphy for periods dominated by non­marine formations. These problems are exacerbated in dating and correlating barren sequences encountered in offshore exploration and appraisal drilling where the potential of alternative techniques becomes economically extremely important. Brought together in this volume is a wide range of diverse techniques and disciplines, broadly grouped into mineralogical, chemical, isotopic, luminescence and cyclicity analyses, to explore their potential in solving difficulties in stratigraphy. The intention is also to introduce these techniques, already familiar to specialist researchers, to a wider audience of petroleum geologists who may find them useful in resolving their specific correlation problems. The book will be of particular interest to hydrocarbon exploration and production geologists. '.
