	Miocene Stratigraphy: An Integrated Approach Integrated stratigraphy is essential for: detailed paleoecologic studies of critical intervals in Earth history; the calibration of the time scale for global use; and the establishment of Global Stratotype Sections and Points (GSSPs) for the definition of chronostratigraphic boundaries. This work constitutes an example of how interdisciplinary stratigraphic and geochronologic studies are approached with modern methodologies and techniques. It contains numerous unpublished radioisotopic dates of volcano-sedimentary layers interbedded in fossiliferous marine and continental Miocene sequences representing Mediterranean and Pacific environments. Detailed paleontologic data which constitutes the basis for an accurate definition of the Miocene biostratigraphy and the study of the ecologic evolution of Miocene marine environments are also included. This work should be of interest to stratigraphers, paleontologists and sedimentologists plus geologists working in oil companies.
	Geology and Paleontology of the Miocene Sinap Formation, Turkey Located near the city of Ankara, the Sinap Formation in central Turkey preserves a rich record of mammalian evolution from about 15 to 5 million years ago and is one of the few sites in this region that also has fossil apes. It is unique among other fossil localities from Europe to Western Asia in that it has a thick stratigraphic section and preserves a long record of geological time. The authors have been able to piece together a detailed record of faunal change and, by adding paleomagnetic and radiometric dating techniques, have produced a chronostratigraphy for the formation. Because of the dual importance of the rich record of the fossils and the dating of the sediments, the editors have been able to attract some of the leading authorities on Eurasian Neogene paleontology and geology to contribute to this reference work.
