GLOBAL CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHICAL CORRELATION TABLE FOR THE LAST 2.7 MILLION YEARS


GIBBARD, Philip L., Cambridge Quaternary, University of Cambridge, Department of Geography, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EN, United Kingdom and COHEN, Kim, Physical Geography, Utrecht University, POBOX 80.115, Utrecht, 3508 TC, Netherlands, plg1@cam.ac.uk

The table provides a correlation of chronostratigraphical subdivisions of late Cenozoic geological time, spanning the last 2.7 million years. The formal division of the Quaternary is the responsibility of the International Commission on Stratigraphy’s (ICS) Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS), in partnership with the International Union for Quaternary Research’s (INQUA) Commission on Stratigraphy and Chronology (SACCOM). This is the fifth published version of the chart.

Earlier versions are Gibbard et al., 2004, 2005. See http://www.quaternary.stratigraphy.org.uk/correlation/ for history.
