Summary

Stratigraphy summarizes all data related to the content, nature and sequences of the geological record and the construction of the geochronological scale for the natural stages in the history of the Earth. This determines the fundamental importance of stratigraphy for all geology. From this fact arises the need for precisely defined and internationally agreed principles of stratigraphic classification, terminology and procedures, regulating the introduction and use of different types of stratigraphic divisions. The more significant corrections, improvements and additions in this second edition of the code are the following: 1. All the main categories of stratigraphic units used so far by Bulgarian geologists have been introduced. 2. For the first time, the three types of lithostratigraphic units have been covered: a) layered; b) unlayered; c) units of mixed type, and their detailed characteristics are given. 3. In terms of terminology, this edition of the code is as close as possible to the International Stratigraphic Manual of 1994, while preserving traditional national specifics.
