The integrated approach applied in the study provides a reassessment of the stratigraphy previously established for the 18 holes that have been re-examined. The authors set out the current understanding of Southern Ocean biochronology and give a synthesis of biostratigraphical and polarity data from previous work. The volume will be a valuable reference for interpreting the palaeoceanography, climatic history and tectonic evolution of the Southern Ocean. It also provides a framework for dating oceanographic and sedimentary events that are used as proxies for interpreting the glacial history of Antarctica.

Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in the science of microfossils. Major age revisions of many of the so called unfossilifereous strata were made with the discovery of microfossils. The...
