Abstract

Language:

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of chronostratigraphic terminology pertinent to the Paleocene/Eocene boundary, a critical junction in Earth's geological history marked by significant climatic and biotic changes. The objective of this study is to establish a coherent and standardized set of terms to enhance clarity and communication among geoscientists working on related topics. Methodologically, the study synthesizes existing research, field observations, and stratigraphic data to meticulously redefine boundary definitions, principles, and applications. The results illuminate key aspects of stratigraphic nomenclature, resolving inconsistencies that have been a source of confusion in past literature. By providing a detailed framework and recommendations for usage, the paper aims to foster more precise dialogue and facilitate collaborative research in the field of geological sciences. This work is specifically intended to aid researchers and educators in navigating the complexities of stratigraphic classifications and to support future studies that investigate the Paleocene/Eocene transition and its global implications.
