The Barremian Stratotype was designated by Busnardo in 1963 during a conference on the Lower Cretaceous.
A Stratotype is a type stratum, an outcrop designated as the type of a geological stage, the standard for a layer of rock (usually soil).
They generally take the name of the place where the reference outcrop was discovered.
There are two types of stratotypes: unit stratotypes and boundary stratotypes.
