A Geologic Time Scale, 2004

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.
