19 Wei: status and boundary 19 ON THE SURVIVAL, RANK AND BOUNDARY OF THE QUATERNARY KUO-YEN WEI 1 1. Department of Geosciences, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. ABSTRACT The omission of the from the newly published Geologic Time Scale 2004 has caused hot debates on the survival, rank, definition and boundary of the among geoscientists and between geologic organizations, such as the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) and International Union for Research (INQUA). This article comments on several proposals and options appeared in recent years. Based on consideration of (1) general rules of ranked hierarchy, (2) ICS guideline of no overlapping or gaps between units, (3) Simpson's rule, and (4) convention of conterminosity, the author suggests to adopt the option 3rd of the status quo version in Clague (2005) (same as the "present version" in Pillans, 2004), namely, (1) keeping the as a formal ranked chronostratigraphic unit, (2) retaining the rank as the Period/System, (3) coupling the lower boundaries of the and the Pleistocene and (4) retaining the current Pleistocene GSSP at 1.81 Ma without extending the lower Pleistocene boundary to the base of the Gelasian (2.6 Ma). Key words:, Pleistocene, Neogene, stratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, geologic time scale 1. Kuo-Yen Wei, weiky@ntu.edu.tw
