Description
The geologie term "'Tethys" introduced by Eduard Suess (1893) into Reience waR originally a paleogeographic one.
Since its original des- eription it has been used in various ways.
One of them is Tethys as a paleo-biogeographie eoneept.
This eoneept was adopted for IGCP Project 262, Tethyan Cretaeeous Correlation.
It was proposed by G. CSASZAR and Heim; A. KOLLMANN and has been approved by the IGCP Board in February 1987.
The projeet haR its aimH primarily in the improvement of the stra- tigraphie cOl'relation between the heterogenous faeies of the Tethyan realm.
The requests to paleontology in this programme are of variouR kindH: The delimitation of the Tethyan realm in spaee and time needH a dear statements on the eomposition of Tethyan faunal 01' floral assem- blages.
Riozones based on various fossil groups have to be eRtablished fOI' biostratigraphie eorrelation.
Finally, Tethyan bioprovinees have to be established.
TheHe problems have been diseussed in a special meeting of the palaeontologieal group of the projeet whieh was held on January 25-27, 1988, in Vienna.
Papers presented at this meeting are published in this volume.
