Distinct signals, such as rock colour, represent evidence of changing scenarios that appear to reflect a recurrent pattern of biotic response to similar eustatic/climatic/geographic changes perceived to be of global extent. This symposium aims to bring together apparently unrelated diverse lines of investigation in order to define and compare through a long time slice colour markers of global events in an attempt to explore their potential for high resolution stratigraphy and for unravelling complex environment-organism interactions and the coupled sedimentary-fossil record.
