Abstract

The development of techniques for quantitative stratigraphic correlation has tended to outstrip their acceptance by practising stratigraphers. To make these techniques more readily accessible and to encourage their use, this paper presents a brief, general review of the problem of quantitative stratigraphic correlation and then shows how, using a natural framework for stratigraphic correlation, the stratigraphic time-series, there can be seen an orderly pattern among them. The annotated bibliography, of almost 400 articles, includes a majority of those references concerned with quantitative stratigraphic correlation, in whatever sense: the scheme of annotation provides a straightforward, albeit subjective indication of the general thrust of each article.
