A new global carbon isotope negative excursion defines the Cambrian base at 539 Ma, 2 million years younger than current charts. The authors propose a revised Cambrian chronostratigraphy for China, including a new Xiaotanian Stage.
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.
A team of scientists proposes a new system for classifying units of the Geological Time Scale, resolving the debate between single-time and dual-time hierarchies. The proposed realignment maintains both parallel sets of units, allowing for flexibility in choosing one or the other as needed.
