This session focuses on the evolution of ecosystem in the pelagic realm,
including discussions on all aspects of pelagic biota covering biostratigraphy,
biochronology, evolution, and biogeography, which are important to the
reconstruction of the spatio-temporal framework in the pelagic realm.
Reconstructions of plate configuration through time are included in the scope of
this session. Biological, geochemical, sedimentological approaches to the
pelagic environments are welcomed.
