Time subdivisions and geologic ages in millions of years (Ma) are after the Geological Society of America 1999 Geologic Time Scale: http://www.geosociety.org/science/timescale/timescl.pdf. Web-safe colors choices are arbitrary but follow standard map colors for geologic ages. Another generalized geologic time scale is available at: http://geology.er.usgs.gov/paleo/geotime.shtml.
