Chronostratigraphic chart

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000670

A diagram that illustrates the relative and absolute ages of rock units, organizing them into a hierarchical system of time-rock units (e.g., Eonothem, Erathem, System, Series, Stage). It provides a standardized framework for correlating geological events and formations across different regions. The International Chronostratigraphic Chart is maintained by the International Commission on Stratigraphy.
