Σύνοψη	Paleomagnetism analysis is the study of ancient magnetic properties of rocks, measuring fossil magnetization to determine paleomagnetic field history and assign geological ages. Pioneered by Brunhes (1906) and systematized by Tauxe (2010), this method reveals geomagnetic reversals, polar wander paths, and paleomagnetic chronology independent of fossil biostratigraphy. Analysis integrates laboratory rock magnetism with field sampling to build high-resolution timescales and constrain plate motion.	Stratigraphic correlation is the practice of identifying equivalent rock layers or chronostratigraphic units across space by tracing physical or chemical signatures. Rooted in 19th-century work on Alpine glacial sequences, this method was formalized in the 20th century by geologists like Vail who unified global sea-level change with depositional sequences. Correlation is foundational to basin-scale understanding of sediment transport, resource distribution, and paleoenvironmental change.
