Groupe de couches géologiques, qui forme une unité par le fait qu’il s’agit de roches formées durant un intervalle spécifique du temps géologique. 2, record 2, French, - unit%C3%A9%20chronostratigraphique
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
L'objectif de la chronostratigraphie est de diviser la succession des couches en unités correspondant à des intervalles de temps, quelles que soient les lithologies rencontrées. Les roches qui se sont déposées pendant le même intervalle du temps géologique appartiennent à la même unité chronostratigraphique. […] Les unités chronostratigraphiques ont pour vocation de définir une échelle utilisable, autant que possible, comme référence dans le monde entier(idéal qui n’ est pas encore totalement atteint). 3, record 2, French, - unit%C3%A9%20chronostratigraphique
