Bathonian Working Group

Abstract

The Working Group meeting during the 7th International Jurassic Congress in Krakow agreed to submission of the proposal of the Ravin du Bès section as GSSP for vote in the Working Group by April 2007 and to the Jurassic Subcommission later. New multidisciplinary investigations of the candidate section, however, have been finished during April and May. The formal ballot on the proposal of the Ravin du Bès section as GSSP for the Bathonian Stage, by post or email, to all members of the BtWG is responsibility of the convenor and the International Subcommission on Jurassic Stratigraphy Executive, and is expected by September 2007.
