Subdivisions of the global geologic record are
formally defined by their lower boundary. Each unit
of the Phanerozoic (~542 Ma to Present) and the
base of Ediacaran are defined by a basal Global
Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP
),
whereas Precambrian units are formally subdivided
by absolute age (Global Standard Stratigraphic Age,
GSSA). Details of each GSSP are posted on the
ICS website (www.stratigraphy.org).
Numerical ages of the unit boundaries in the
Phanerozoic are subject to revision. Some stages
within the Cambrian will be formally named upon
international agreement on their GSSP limits. Most
sub-Series boundaries (e.g., Middle and Upper
Aptian) are not formally defined.
Colors are according to the Commission for the
Geological Map of the World (www.cgmw.org).
The listed numerical ages are from 'A Geologic
Time Scale 2004', by F.M. Gradstein, J.G. Ogg,
A.G. Smith, et al. (2004; Cambridge University Press)
and The Concise Geologic Time Scale by J.G. Ogg,
G. Ogg and F.M. Gradstein (2008).
