"The Great Acceleration is real and provides a quantitative basis for the proposed Anthropocene Series/Epoch". Episodes. 45 (4): 359–376. doi: 10.18814/epiiugs/2021/021031. ISSN 0705-3797. S2CID 244145710. Methanian Period/System ( 2780–2630 Ma) – named for the inferred predominance of methanotrophic prokaryotes [57]

Stabilization of most modern cratons; possible mantle overturn event. Insell Orogeny, 2,650±150Ma. Abitibi greenstone belt in present-day Ontario and Quebec begins to form, stabilises by 2,600Ma. First uncontroversial supercontinent, Kenorland, and first terrestrial prokaryotes.Rodinian Period/System ( 1780–850 Ma) – named after the supercontinent Rodinia, stable environment. [57] Critical Thinking: This map shows the distribution of another mineral common in metamorphosed shales, staurolite. Using the temperature scale, determine the temperature that the staurolite formed.

Time spans of geologic time units vary broadly, and there is no numeric limitation on the time span they can represent. They are limited by the time span of the higher rank unit they belong to, and to the chronostratigraphic boundaries they are defined by. Borolanite– Variety of nepheline syenite from Loch Borralan, Scotland – A variety of nepheline syenite from Loch Borralan, Scotland Ophiolites offer clues to where oceanic crust used to exist, and they help geologists understand processes at mid-ocean ridges. Kratian (no fixed time given, prior to the Siderian) – from Greek word κράτος (krátos), meaning strength.Bartoli, G; Sarnthein, M; Weinelt, M; Erlenkeuser, H; Garbe-Schönberg, D; Lea, D.W (2005). "Final closure of Panama and the onset of northern hemisphere glaciation". Earth and Planetary Science Letters. 237 (1–2): 33–44. Bibcode: 2005E&PSL.237...33B. doi: 10.1016/j.epsl.2005.06.020. The GTS is divided into chronostratigraphic units and their corresponding geochronologic units. These are represented on the ICC published by the ICS; however, regional terms are still in use in some areas.
