XXIst European Micropalaeontological Colloquium Guidebook [antikvár]

ADDIiESSI have the hnnoiir nf cnnveyinr) the best wishes nf the International Geolnnical Correlation Prnnrainme (ICCP) nf Unesco and the International Union nf Geological Sciences (lUGS) to the participants of this distinguished Collnquiun.Ever since its birth in 1972, tlie IGCP has been heavily involved, by definition and "ex officio", in stratigraphic correlation.A remarkable variety of approaches and techniques of correlation have been applied by the various IGCP projects dealing with widely different geological formations of the Earth, ranging from eco- and chemostratigraphy through magnetnstra-tigrat'hy and seismostratigraphy to geomathematics. However, biostratigraphy has maintained its priority wherever applicable.Within biostratigraphy, inicropaleontology has been playing a prominent part, historically speaking ever since the pioneering works on Foraminifera of Miksa (Maximilian) HANTKEN.In Hungary, HANTKEN's achievements were further developed by several other eminent micropaleontologists such as P.il ROZLOZSNIK and László MA.IZON.It is a particular pleasure for me that this Colloquium is hnsted by Hungary -- my mother country.T was initiated tn Micropaleontology at the University of Budapest by L. MA.TZON, and I had the privilege of working for five years at the Department of Paleontology (headed at that time hy Professor László FIDGSCH) in the field of paleo-
