• Lithostratigraphy: establishing the geometrical shape and spatial relationship of rock bodies
• Establishing a formal (relative) time framework - chronostratigraphy
• Determining numerical ages for units, i.e. geochronology
Main activities
• Correlating successions with one another and with the chronostatigraphical standard: often by using biostratigraphy

What is relevant to our work?
1) A fossil out of context is very difficult to place in a stratigraphical framework
2) Southeast Asia is tectonically highly active, often resulting in restricted lateralextension of facies
3) Current climate is favours rainforest development
4) Combined this makes lithostraitgraphical correlation difficult, and we need to get as much as possible out of those outcrops we have available
5) Most stratigraphical units that we are using are defined outside our regionof interest.

1) Improve correlation with less local stratigraphic schemes
2) In some way formalize this biostratigraphical zonation so that
a. regional differences can be discussedb. Our findings can be placed in a global
context

Originally formulateed as chronostratigraphical units, but later often interpreted as Larger Benthic Foraminifera Biozones

• Stratigraphic schemes can not be horizontally relocated to other regions
Regional stratigraphic schemes
• Stratigraphic ranges of species differ
