“…The Belgian Dinantian sequence stratigraphy, supported by robust biostratigraphic dates, was successfully extended to the Boulonnais in northern France (Hance et al, 2001), England (Hance et al, 2002), southern France (Poty et al, 2002b;Aretz, 2016, this volume), Poland , China (Poty et al, 2011b;Hance et al, 2011), NW Turkey (Denayer, 2014) and recently in Germany (Herbig, 2016, this volume). These correlations allowed us to check, to detail, to complete and to globalize the Belgian Dinantian sequence stratigraphy .…”
