Category Units of time Category Stratigraphy Category Historical geology Faunal stage Category Geology ...Geology to Paleobiology In chronostratigraphy , a stage is a Geologic record succession of rock strata laid down in a single age on the geologic timescale , which usually represents millions of years of deposition. A given stage of rock and the corresponding age of time will by convention have the same name, and the same boundaries. Rock Series geology series are divided into stages, just as geological epochs are divided into ages. Stages can be divided into smaller stratigraphic units called chronozone s. See chart at right for full terminology hierarchy. The term faunal stage is sometimes used, referring to the fact that the same fauna animals are found throughout the layer by definition . Defining Stages are primarily defined by a consistent set of fossils biostratigraphy or a consistent magnetic polarity see paleomagnetism in the rock. Usually one or more index fossil s that are common, found worldwide, easily recognized, and limited to a single, or at most a few, stages are used to define the stage s bottom. Thus, for example, in the still used local North American subdivision paleontologist finding fragments of the trilobite Olenellus would identify the beds as being from the Waucoban Stage whereas fragments of a later trilobite such as Elrathia would identify the stage as Albertan Stage Albertan . Stages were very important in the 19th and early 20th century as they were the major tool available for dating rock beds until the development of seismology and radioactive dating ... developed to use European and, to a lesser extent, Asian, stage names for the same time period world wide, even though the faunas in other regions often had little in common with the stage as originally ...

NOTOC A system in the natural sciences and stratigraphy is an idealized composite unit of the geologic record made up of a succession of stratum rock layers that were laid down together within a certain corresponding geological time span, and are used in turn to date things to a certain corresponding period geology geologic period .

A group in stratigraphy is a lithostratigraphy lithostratigraphic unit, a part of the geologic record geologic record or rock column that consists of defined stratum rock strata . Groups are divided into formation stratigraphy formations and sometimes into subgroups and are sometimes themselves grouped into supergroups . Some wellknown groups of northwestern Europe have in the past also been used as units for chronostratigraphy and geochronology . These are the Rotliegend , Zechstein both of Permian age , Buntsandstein , Muschelkalk , Keuper Triassic in age , Lias Group Lias , Dogger and Malm Jurassic in age groups. Because of the confusion this causes, the official geologic timescale of the International Commission on Stratigraphy ICS does not contain any of these names any longer. geology stub date July 2008 Category Stratigraphy Category Geology terminology de Gruppe Geologie he nl Groep stratigrafie ... more details
Unreferenced date December 2009 Image Reversed strat.001.png thumb Example of how reversed archaeological stratigraphy may form. Reverse stratigraphy sometimes known as inverted stratigraphy is the result of a process whereby one sediment is unearthed by human or natural actions and moved elsewhere, whereby the latest material will be deposited on the bottom of the new sediment, and progressively earlier material will be deposited higher and higher in the stratigraphy. Such events can be triggered by rockslides, treethrows, or other events which cause the strata of a deposit to be flipped or reversed .In Archeological Excavation archaeology excavations a common cause of inversions in the stratigraphy is the collapse of walls on river banks or other raised mounds where deposits which have been cut through behind the wall prior to collapse slip over the collapsed structure resulting in the structure being under the deposits that originated earlier in time. In this case care must be taken to re Archaeological context context the slipped deposits so the event of slippage appears in the correct place stratigraphically in the Harris matrix . There are numerous process that can reverse the stratigraphy or more accurately redeposit it. Many rely on slope processes, however other instances where deposits containing material later than overlying deposits occur in such features as drains or hypocaust systems. In these instances a clear understanding of the direction of UP and site formation processes is essential. Drains or hypocaust systems often have later material deposited within them during their use , which may be much much later than either their initial construction or indeed the construction, use and disuse of the floors above them.

Series are subdivisions of system geology systems and are themselves divided into stage geology stages . Series is a term defining a unit of rock layers formed in a certain interval in time it is equivalent to the term geological epoch epoch criteria defining the interval of time itself, although the two words are sometimes confused in informal literature. Series in the geological timescale Geology to Paleobiology The geological timescale has all system geology system s in the Phanerozoic eonothem subdivided into series. Some of these have their own names, in other cases a system is simply divided into a Lower, Middle and Upper series. The Cretaceous system is for example divided into the Upper Cretaceous and Lower Cretaceous series while the Carboniferous system is divided in the Pennsylvanian and Mississippian series. In 2008, the International Commission on Stratigraphy had not yet named all four series of the Cambrian . Currently series are limited to the Phanerozoic, but the ICS has stated its intention of subdividing the three systems of the Neoproterozoic Ediacaran , Cryogenian and Tonian into stages too. Systems and lithostratigraphy Systems can include many lithostratigraphic units for example formation geology formations , bed geology beds , member geology members , etc. of differing rock types that were being laid down in different environments at the same time. In the same way, a lithostratigraphic unit can include a number of systems or parts of ... more details
Two schemes exist for the stratigraphy of the Cambrian period . The supposedly international i.e. Western ICS scheme is in a state of flux, and does not yet have any firmly established internal boundaries, although it has set a stratotype section for the base of the Cambrian, dated quite accurately to Period start Cambrian Period start error Cambrian million years ago. In contrast, the Russians and many Chinese scientists prefer a different scheme since the most significant exposure of Cambrian strata lies in these countries, they are arguably better placed to determine subdivisions. Stratigraphy relates to the order of rock units, without referring to their absolute ages which is chronology . However, because fossils which are traditionally the cornerstone of stratigrapahy are relatively rare in the Cambrian, chronology has a significant part to play if an absolute age can be obtained with a high degree of accuracy for different strata, their relative age can also be established. The base of the Cambrian is officially defined as the first appearance of a certain trace fossil, Treptichnus pedum . However, this fossil also appears in older rocks than the locality which officially marks the start of the period. ref cite journal last1 Gehling first1 James G. last2 Jensen first2 S REN last3 Droser first3 Mary L. last4 Myrow first4 Paul M. last5 Narbonne first5 GUY M. title Burrowing below the basal Cambrian GSSP, Fortune Head, Newfoundland journal Geological Magazine volume 138 year 2001 doi 10.1017 S001675680100509X issue 02 ref However, there is a period of biological change which makes this time period a good one to demarkate the Cambrian and Precambrian consensus holds that fossils ... the start of a stage.

Refimprove date May 2008 Sequence stratigraphy is a branch of geology that attempts to subdivide and link sediment ary deposits into unconformity bound units on a variety of scales and explain these stratigraphic units in terms of variations in sediment supply and variations in the rate of change in accommodation space often associated with changes in relative sea level . The essence of the method is mapping of Stratum strata based on identification of surfaces which are assumed to represent time lines e.g. subaerial unconformities, maximum flooding surfaces , and therefore placing stratigraphy in Chronostratigraphy chronostratigraphic framework. Sequence stratigraphy is a useful alternative to a Lithostratigraphy lithostratigraphic approach, which emphasizes similarity of the lithology of rock units rather than time significance. The sequence part of the name refers to Cyclic sediments cyclic sedimentary deposits . The term stratigraphy refers to the geologic knowledge about the processes by which sedimentary deposits form and how those deposits change through time and space on the Earth s surface. Significant surfaces Sequence boundaries Sequence boundaries are deemed the most significant surfaces. ref name hamp Hampson, G.J., Davies, S. J., Elliott, T., Flint, S. S. & Stollhofen, H. 1999.

T stage s are the small compressor stages, featured on some turbofan engines, that are mounted on the low pressure LP shaft directly behind the fan. Although T stages usually only Supercharger supercharge the core stream, some engines do feature a deliberately oversized intermediate pressure IP compressor, which compresses both the core flow and a proportion of the bypass flow. This enhances the stability of the T stages during throttling. Where necessary, the alternative is to employ blow off valves. T stages are used to increase overall pressure ratio and, for a given core size, the core mass flow. This is demonstrated by the following relationship math w 2 w 2 sqrt T 3 P 3 P 3 P 2 sqrt T 2 T 3 P 2 sqrt T 2 , math where core mass flow math w 2 , math core size math w 2 sqrt T 3 P 3 , math core total head pressure ratio math P 3 P 2 , math inverse of core total head temperature ratio math T 2 T 3 , math i.e. f math P 3 P 2 , math core entry total pressure math P 2 , math core entry total temperature math T 2 , math Note in this case, the core refers to the whole of the gas generator compression, not just that of the high pressure HP compressor. T stages are a popular method for uprating the thrust of an engine see, for example the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW500 . The alternative is to place a zero stage , mounted on the HP shaft, at the front of the HP compressor. This approach requires a significant change in the HP turbine, whereas a T stage can, if necessary, be accommodated by simply adding an additional stage to the rear of the LP turbine.

The Bramertonian Stage is the name for an early Pleistocene stage used in the British Isles . It precedes the Pre Pastonian Stage Baventian Stage . It derives its name from Bramerton Pits in Norfolk , where the deposits can be found on the surface. The exact timing of the beginning and end of the Bramertonian Stage is currently unknown. It is only known that it is equivalent to the Tiglian C1 4b Stage of Europe and early Pre Illinoian Pre Illinoian Stage of North America. It lies somewhere in time between Marine Oxygen Isotope stages 65 to 95 and somewhere between 1.816 to 2.427 annum Ma million years ago . ref name McMillan11 McMillan, A.A., 2005, A provisional Quaternary and Neogene lithostratigraphic framework Great Britain.

The Sicilian European Stage is a Europe an faunal stage in the period of Geologic time scale geological time between 0.781 0.005 annum Ma and 0.26 Ma million years ago . It is considered to be in the middle of the Pleistocene Epoch geology epoch . The Sicilian Stage starts with the Brunhes Matuyama reversal Brunhes Matuyama magnetic reversal at the end of the Calabrian . The Milazzian faunal stage is sometimes considered to be the last part of the Sicilian, and sometimes to be between the Sicilian and the following Tyrrhenian Stage .
