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.
