lectostratotype
lectostratotype A stratotype, chosen after the original establishment of a stratigraphic unit, that is designed to serve as the standard in the absence of a satisfactory original stratotype (i.e. a holostratotype). A lectostratotype may be selected from outside the type area. Compare NEOSTRATOTYPE. See also PARASTRATOTYPE; and HYPOSTRATOTYPE.
