Researchers developed a new time scale using microfossils, doubling the resolution of published GoM time scales. The BP GNATTS provides valuable aid in seismic correlations, detecting unconformities, sediment redeposition, and faults.

A new Devonian integrative stratigraphy framework for China has been established, integrating bio-, chronostratigraphy, event stratigraphy, and radioactive isotope ages. The framework provides a high-resolution chronology for the complex ocean-land-atmosphere interactions during the Devonian period.
A research team in China has established a Chinese Neogene chronostratigraphic sequence with accurate geological ages. The development of a uniform Neogene biostratigraphic framework for China will help to improve the division and correlation of Neogene strata.
