Original language description
In January 2024, the IUGS ratified the proposal of the ICS to designate in southern Spain a replacement GSSP for the base of the Telychian Stage (Silurian System). The previous GSSP for the same stage was established in 1985 in the historical type Llandovery area of southern Wales (UK), but the significant level of imprecision in its definition for the purposes of high-resolution biostratigraphical correlation and the discovery of a sedimentary melange demonstrated that it was not a continuous and adequate section. In 2014, a working group was formed to find a new GSSP. After evaluating sections in Sweden, China, and Spain, the section in Spain was chosen as the sole candidate in 2019. It was officially approved by the ISSS and ICS in 2023. The new replacement GSSP is situated on the northern shore of El Pintado Reservoir, west of Cazalla de la Sierra (Seville province). It is located in a continuous succession of graptolitic black shales, with the FAD of the cosmopolitan graptolite Spirograptus guerichi chosen as the defining criterion for the base of the Telychian Stage. The potential for biostratigraphical and chemostratigraphical correlation with other world sections was clearly demonstrated in a detailed study published in 2015.
