International divisions of geologic time (eras, periods, epochs, stages) are standardized by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS, www.stratigraphy.org). The color scheme of the Commission for the Geological Map of the World is shown for these divisions, and their numerical ages are from "A Geologic Time Scale 2004" (Gradstein et al., Cambridge University Press). Paleogeographic maps were provided courtesy of Ron Blakey with plate positions modified from Chris Scotese. The evolution of life is modified from John Gurche’s painting “Tower of Time” (© Smithsonian Institution). This chart was compiled and drafted by Gabi Ogg and Bruce Wardlaw. * The status of the Quaternary is not yet decided. Its base may be assigned as the base of the Gelasian and extend the base of the Pleistocene to 2.6 Ma.
