摘要:Using a range of the most up to date isotope geochronology, geomathematics and orbital tuning methods, an international team of over forty researchers has built the most modern stratigraphic framework for the Precambrian and Phanerozoic. Including a wallchart, this book is an invaluable reference source for researchers and students.
