NORTH AMERICAN COMMISSION ON STRATIGRAPHIC NOMENCLATURE Report 14 - Revision of Articles 73, 81, 82 and Table 2 of the North American Stratigraphic Code to Formalize Subseries and Subepochs

Abstract

At the 75th Annual Meeting of the North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature, 22 October, 2020, in connection with GSA 2020 Connects Online, the Commission voted unanimously to accept the revision of Articles 73, 81 and 82 of the North American Stratigraphic Code (North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature, 2005 with subsequent updates), and concomitant changes to Table 2; specific revisions of the Code are indicated in red color. These replace all older versions of the specified Articles. An application for this revision (Aubry et al. 2019) was published in Stratigraphy more than one year prior to the meeting; thus, the vote on this application for revision follows Article 21 of the Code.
