Innovation in the 1980s and 1990s has been dominated by new instrumentation. Only recently has processing and interpretation technology appeared which will extract the maximum value from the new instruments. In the following sections, the instrumentation advances are outlined. Processing and interpretation advances are sketched in the last section.
On the basis of detailed, combined rock-magnetic, lithological, and micropaleontological study of the Mikhailovtsement section of the Moscow syneclise (Ryazan region), the fluctuations in Central Russian Sea level in Callovian–Early Oxfordian were reconstructed. According to the variations of rock-magnetic parameters over the section, seven rock-magnetic intervals were established which correspond to different stages of basin evolution. These stages are compared with sea level fluctuations established on the basis of changes in the lithology of rocks and the ostracod complexes. In general, the nature of sea level change in Callovian–Oxfordian, revealed by combination of the methods during the study of Mikhailovtsement section coincides with global trend.
