Changes in associations of conodont genera or biofacies occur rapidly
and synchronously during time ranges less than a conodont zone. Resolu
tion obtained with evolution of biofacies changes is better and allows
the determination of the base of the Upper Kellwasser event in an env
ironment where it is not distinguished lithologically and the attribut
ion of an age to non fossiliferous sediments.
