说明
共有4个,大於5亿年
共有14个,數亿年
共有22個,數千萬至數億年
共有34個,數千万年
共有99個,数百万年
小于期,国际地层委员会(ICS)不使用
规范用法:恐龙生活在侏罗纪(时间),恐龙化石在侏罗系地层中找到。上、下修饰年代地层单位。早、晚修饰地质年代单位。(例:下白垩统对应早白垩世)

(period)是地质学上的时间单位,将区分为更小的时间周期,同理区分为更小的周期。在地球科学里岩石、尤其是成序列的岩石叫地层。

对存在有序排列的“柱状岩石”组成部分,其具体形成的时期,原因都是地质研究的重点。贴切的时间单位通常意味着对应有相似特征的岩石地层单位,这种特征同时发生的其他地方作为岩层沉积物被掩埋在地下。

  1. ^ Paleontologists often refer to faunal stage英语faunal stages rather than geologic (geological) periods. The stage nomenclature is quite complex. For an excellent time-ordered list of faunal stages, see The Paleobiology Database. [2006-03-19]. 
  2. ^ 2.0 2.1 所有全球年代地层单位均由其底界的全球界线层型剖面和点位(GSSP)界定,包括长期由全球标准地层年龄(GSSA)界定的太古宇和元古宇各单位。斜体代表非正式名称或尚未命名单位的临时名称。图件及已批准GSSP的详情参见国际地层委员会官网。GSSP被标记为*,而GSSA被标记为+
    年龄值仍在不断修订;显生宇和埃迪卡拉系的单位不能由年龄界定,而只能由GSSP界定。显生宇中没有确定GSSP或精确年龄值的单位,则标注了近似年龄值(~)。
  3. ^ References to the "Post-Cambrian Supereon" are not universally accepted, and therefore must be considered unofficial.
  4. ^ Historically, the 新生代 has been divided up into the 第四紀 and 第三紀 sub-eras, as well as the 新近纪 and 古近纪 periods. The 2009 version of the ICS time chart recognizes a slightly extended Quaternary as well as the Paleogene and a truncated Neogene, the Tertiary having been demoted to informal status.

  7. ^ 7.0 7.1 上石炭紀地質在歐美及中國均以盛產煤炭著名,因此便以石炭紀為此時代地層的名稱,但在美國則以密士西必紀作為下石炭紀,另以賓夕法尼亞紀稱上部石炭紀。[1]

  9. ^ 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 9.4 9.5 9.6 9.7 The Proterozoic, Archean and Hadean are often collectively referred to as the Precambrian Time or sometimes, also the Cryptozoic.
