Description
Summary:This guide provides recommendations on how to introduce formal names for geological units, specifically lithostratigraphic, chronostratigraphic, biostratigraphic, lithodemic, tectonic and tectonostratigraphic units, as well as for other geological features such as deformational structures and bedrock landforms. The recommendations apply to Swedish geology but are crafted to harmonize with international practice in geological nomenclature.
