1982 W. B. Harland et al. Geologic Time Scale ii. 30/2 Ever since Thurmann..coined the name Neocomian for strata in the vicinity of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, there has been confusion as to how much of the early Cretaceous Period should be embraced by the name. Some authors have used it to signify earliest Cretaceous up to and including the Valanginian Age; others have extended it to include the Barremian and even Aptian. We have followed the recommendation of Barbier, Debelmas and Thieuloy in the Colloque sur la Crétacé inférieur..that the Neocomian be regarded as an informal term embracing the lowest three stages of the Cretaceous, i.e. Berriasian, Valanginian and Hauterivian.
