1. Event positions in the composite are unconstrained

CONOP - Event Strategies
1. Event positions in the composite are
unconstrained
and can move either up or down ( averaged
)
2. Event positions in the composite are
maximized,
either stratigraphically upwards (for tops)
or downwards (for
bases)

Challenge Conventional zonations do not rank
taxa according to the degree of diachroneity of
range endpoints in correlation Answer Combine
zonations of Ranking Scaling (RASC) and
Constrained Optimization (CONOP) to show which
events do, and which ones do not deviate much
their stratigraphic position from well to well
