Evidence boundary
eag and lag are display projections of the versioned boundary records below. Phanerozoic numerical ages do not define the units; their GSSPs do. null uncertainty means the chart publishes a fixed GSSA/display value without an uncertainty in the numerical-age column.
Older boundary: 4567 Ma · Younger boundary: 4031 Ma
Numerical ages are versioned display values; Phanerozoic units are defined by GSSPs rather than by the numerical ages themselves.
