This valuable contribution is weakened by a poorly researched stratigraphic model that conflicts with much published work. The importance of good micropalaeontology is stressed in this review as without this tool the essential dimension of time is lost, and facies determinations are less reliable. These inputs are two of the three two components, along with space, that make stratigraphy a testable science under Walther's Law. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. date: 2020 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85075897059&doi=10.1016%2fj.earscirev.2019.102980&partnerID=40&md5=226364960dedee0741e46f1f7b2e11c3 id_number: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2019.102980 full_text_status: none publication: Earth-Science Reviews volume: 202 refereed: TRUE issn: 00128252 citation: Lunt, P.
