Overview

"The geological term ""Tethys"", introduced by Eduard Suess in 1893, was originally a palaeogeographic one. Since its original description it has been used in various ways, one of which is as a palaeo-biogeographical concept. This concept was adopted for IGCP project 262, Tethyan Cretaceous Correlation. The project has its aims primarily in the improvement of the stratigraphic correlation between the heterogenous facies of the Tethyan realm. The three main objects of the project, as outlined in this text, are as follows: the delimitation of the Tethyan realm in space and time needs clear statements on the composition of Tethyan faunal or floral assemblages; biozones based on various fossil groups have to be established for biostratigraphic correlation; and Tethyan bioprovinces have to be established."
