Abstract
Abstract: The Emerging Future of Biostratigraphy:
Increasing the Accuracy of Depositional
Histories
By
PaleoSource
Although multivariate statistical treatment for taxonomy,
paleobiology, and 
paleoenvironmental
analyses have been used
academically for nearly 60 years, industry has rarely made effective
use of these highly informative methods. The complexity of
handling and interpreting multiple-factored modeling systems has
been rendered manageable by the use of computers, sophisticated
programming, and a wealth of detailed paleobiological data. The
end product of such an analysis
is a detailed, multidimensional
record of the environmental and depositional history of a section
in a well or a region. Such analyses are far more sensitive to primary
geologic information than many of the statistical techniques
widely applied.
