  • Descrição: The recent proliferation of sequence stratigraphic studies is giving palaeontology a much needed boost after apparently having been regarded by some geologists for more than a decade as rather a second rate subject. In the face of an onslaught of a variety of new, `more objective' techniques aimed at dating sedimentary successions and analysing the conditions of deposition represented, this was perhaps not surprising. Sedimentologists are, however, now finding that they need palaeontological input if they are to arrive at the best possible age assessments and interpretations of the conditions of deposition of the successions they investigate. Palaeontologists should not let this opportunity pass them by, but it is essential that they do not sacrifice good taxonomic practice in their attempts to provide quick answers. Superficial studies lead to conclusions of a similar kind. No amount of quantitative manipulation using sophisticated, computer-based numerical techniques can provide a correct interpretation if the original data are incomplete and not to be trusted.
