Abstract

AbstractAspects of the isotopic age and stratigraphical databases underpinning Devonian geological time scales are reviewed to assess differences in recent U-Pb zircon-based schemes and older schemes based on Rb-Sr, K-Ar, 40Ar-39Ar dating of minerals and whole-rock samples. The various methods of time-scale construction are described and, with their databases, 14 calibrations of Devonian time are discussed. Finally, the most recent data are collated and compared against current U-Pb-based time scales.
