Morphometric redefinition of the component chronospecies of the Globorotalia conoidea - G. inflata lineage in DSDP Hole 29-284

Phylo-zonations (or lineage-zonations) are based upon morphological changes within individual evolutionary lineages. These zonations, although potentially of use for stratigraphic subdivision and correlation, often suffer from a lack of quantitative exactness in the definitions of chronospecies. Thus exact reproducibility is hindered for stratigraphic determinations. […]
