Geologic time

Drawn by us from the interval articles — boundary ages as Macrostrat and the Paleobiology Database publish them (CC BY 4.0), colours as the ICS chart assigns them. Linear within each panel; the Phanerozoic gets its own so the last 541 million years are legible. Every band is an article.
