A successor to A Geologic Time Scale 1989 (Cambridge, 1990), this volume introduces the theory and methodology behind the construction of the new time scale, before presenting the scale itself in extensive detail. An international team of over forty stratigraphic experts develops the most up-to-date international stratigraphic framework for the Precambrian and Phanerozoic eras. A large wallchart (not available for eBook) summarizing the time scale at the back of the book completes this invaluable reference for researchers and students.

An international team of over forty stratigraphic experts have helped to build the most up to date international stratigraphic framework for the Precambrian and Phanerozoic. As successor to A Geologic Time Scale 1989 by W. Brian Harland et al., it first introduces the theory and methodology behind the construction of the new time scale, before presenting the scale itself in extensive detail. A large wallchart summarising the whole time scale is included in the back of the book. This is an invaluable reference source for researchers and students.
"A triumph of scholarship, that will serve the professsion and the public well."
Episodes, June 2005, John A. Van Couvering
"The editors have succeeded admirably in compiling a work that is dense with information but is both beautiful in layout and extremely readable...The book is a masterpiece of presentation...an amazing work that provides a new standard for both geochronology, and for committee-driven scientific project reports."
The Leading Edge, John Stockwell

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An international team of over forty stratigraphic experts have helped to build the most up to date international stratigraphic framework for the Precambrian and Phanerozoic. This successor to A Geologic Time Scale 1989 by W. Brian Harland et al. (CUP 0521 387655) begins with an introduction to the theory and methodology behind the construction of the new time scale. The main part of the book is devoted to the scale itself, systematically presenting the standard subdivisions at all levels using a variety of correlation markers. Extensive use is made of isotope geochronology, geomathematics and orbital tuning to produce a standard geologic scale of unprecedented detail and accuracy with a full error analysis. A wallchart summarising the whole time scale, with paleogeographic reconstructions throughout the Phanerozoic, is included in the back of the book. The time scale will be an invaluable reference source for academic and professional researchers and students. Using a range of the most up to date isotope geochronology, geomathematics and orbital tuning methods, an international team of over forty researchers has built the most modern stratigraphic framework for the Precambrian and Phanerozoic. Including a wallchart, this book is an invaluable reference source for researchers and students. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
