The continuing development of stratigraphical concepts and the application of new methods has led the Stratigraphy Committee of the Geological Society of London to present a new guide to stratigraphical procedure. Some of the principal types of stratigraphy are outlined and guidelines and recommendations are given on procedure, practice and terminological usage.
