“化石纪年”是所有地球科学家公认的准则,但是对绝大多数地质学家来说,在如何运用古生物学去解决其他地质问题,或者利用古生物学独立地验证其他方法所得出的假设上,显得趑趄不前。1985年2月地质学会组织的该主题讨沦会汇编的论文集,就是想在古生物学家与其他一些地球学科的科学家之间搭起桥梁。 Fossil Chronology is a recognized guideline for all Earth scientists, but for the vast majority of geologists, there are hypotheses on how to use paleontology to solve other geological problems or to use paleontology to independently verify other methods. Unhappy The February 1985 Symposium on Symposium organized by the Geological Society aimed to bridge the gap between paleontologists and scientists in other earth science disciplines.
