This book provides an introduction to recent developments in
automated stratigraphic correlation of fossil data, using computer
programs for ranking and scaling of stratigraphic events.
Mainframes or microcomputers can be used to aid the stratigrapher
during data inventory for a region or time period, for construction
of a biozonation based on stratigraphic events, (such as the latest
appearance datum of a fossil species), and for automated
correlation.

interest in using computer-based techniques for
problem-solving.
