Software written by Adam Lugowski for Prof. James Ogg.
Databases compiled by James Ogg and numerous contributing colleagues.
This Version 3.0 of our time-scale chart maker
has calibrated all ages to Geologic Time Scale 2004 (Gradstein
et al, 2004, Cambridge Univ. Press).
A
listing of sources and
references for these compilations is provided as a separate download,
and is
briefly indicated when each column is highlighted in the Choose
Zonations menu. We are
continuously working to incorporate other stratigraphic columns,
so please check back soon for enhanced Versions, which are generally
posted
about once per month. We would greatly
appreciate your comments and suggestions on both the visualization
software and
on improving/enhancing the default time-scale databases. Send comments
to Jim Ogg; Purdue University, USA; jogg@purdue.edu).
1. How much does TS-Creator
cost?
TS-Creator is freely available at no
cost to educational, non-profit and profit-oriented organizations, as
well as individuals, so basically to everyone.
2. Can I use figures and charts produced with TS-Creator
in publications?
Yes, absolutely! Please either include a sentence of the following kind
in each caption:
Figure produced with TS-Creator (http://www.stratigraphy.org)
or - even better - reference TS-Creator using (many journals allows URLs as references):
TS-Creator visualization of
