Paracme, as used in biostratigraphy, is a term that describes the interval of temporary disappearance or absence of a taxon. It defines the interval between when a taxon temporarily disappears and when it reappears in biostratigraphical observation.[1] Paracme Base "PB" (lowest occurrence) is used to denote the start of the disappearance, and Paracme Top "PT" (highest occurrence) denotes the reappearance of the taxon.
