From the original catalog copy: The topic Radiometric Dating and Paleontologic Zonation was selected for the Annual Research Symposium for the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists, April 10, 1967, in Los Angeles. Six of the contributions to that symposium and two additional papers are combined in this volume. Vast forward strides have been taken in both paleontologic zonation and radiometric dating over the past several decades but more data are needed for cross-correlations and substantiation of radiometric dates obtained thus far. Problems and disparities highlighted in the reports of this volume relate mostly to the smaller stage-age boundaries and relationships. The reports go far beyond earlier studies in attempting to draw together radiometric data and paleontological evidence toward disparities between the data and conclusions of these reports and those involving deep-sea stratigraphy will undoubtedly serve to stimulate action to resolve these differences.
