Abstract

A short review about Quaternary continental stratigraphic units based on biological and climatic events is provided, with several examples taken from Italy. The potential of biochronological and biostratigraphical units is discussed. The suitability of climate events and of composite regional units in continental stratigraphy is also stressed, although a consistent definition and formal status of the latter units are not yet available.
