PBDB Interval

Alaunian subage

216.7 - 213.2 Ma

The definition of this interval in the timescale Mesozoic Subages is taken from the following source:

F. M. Gradstein, J. G. Ogg, M. D. Schmitz and G. M. Ogg. 2020. Geologic Time Scale 2020 view

The top and bottom ages have been interpolated based on the differences between the ages for international timescale boundaries quoted in the source and the currently accepted ages for those boundaries.

There are intervals in 2 timescales which overlap this one. show

This interval is used in the definition of 472 collections

A total of 414 collections with 1406 occurrences lie within this time span
