PROMOTING THE INTERNATIONAL CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHIC CHART IN CHINA
Under the auspices of the International Commission on Stratigraphy,67 "Golden Spikes" (GSSPs) have been established,among which ten are erected in China and Italy,which has the most "Golden Spikes" in any country.However,the International Chronostratigraphic Chart has not been fully adopted among Chinese stratigraphers.For instance,the newly issued Stratigraphic Chart of China rejected the Ediacaran System,which has been accepted internationally as a formal global system.In addition,the Stratigraphic Chart of China developed a series of Chinese chronostratigraphic units and terrestrial chronostratigraphic stages corresponding with international chronostratigraphic units.These practices would negatively impact the popularization and application of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart in China.
