Bryozoa and stratigraphy in Paleogene times through the study of Paleogene species from Europe.

Abstract

The interest in Stratigraphy of Bryozoa is discussed, through the study of the Paleogene fossil species recognized in European basins (excluding the former USSR). It seems that the utility of these fossils in biostratigraphy, mainly within each basin, has been demonstrated. Their interest may be accepted given the great abundance of species found in different Paleogene chronostratigraphic units. Further research is needed to define the status of this phylum for stratigraphic analysis.
