What is the geologic time scale?

The Paleontology Portal
The geologic time scale is a sequential arrangement of time units defined by geologists. It was based originally on two fairly simple observations. The first was that, given a stack of sedimentary rock layers, each layer of rock must be younger than those below it and older than those above it. The second observation was that the presence or absence of various life forms also occurred in a predictable order.
