McKee et al. (1983) demonstrated that 234Th and 210Pb can be used to determine 100-d deposition and 100-y accumulation rates, respectively, near the mouth of the Yangtze River estuary (China). The short-term deposition rate was approximately 4.4 cm per month (figure 7.16a) versus accumulation rates of approximately 5.4 cm y-1 (figure 7.16b), integrated over one century. Thus, the stratigraphic record over the last 100 y is incomplete...

Mass extinctions have been recognized in the fossil record since the middle of the nineteenth century. Levels of mass extinction of species were selected as marker levels in the stratigraphic record because the death of index-fossil species provided a convenient marker to subdivide and correlate strata. The mass-extinction level called the Permian-Triassic boundary is so profound in terms of faunal and floral change that it was early on noted and chosen to represent the transition from Paleozoic to Mesozoic era. The mass-extinction level called the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary is also quite distinctive in terms of faunal and floral change, and it too was noted early on and chosen to represent the transition from Mesozoic to Cenozoic era. Other less profound, but nevertheless distinctive levels of mass extinction of fossils have been selected to represent marker points in the stratigraphic record at which geological periods, epochs, ages, and other intervals of lesser temporal value are defined.

It was stated earlier that the primitive crust of the Earth was most likely of basic composition. Massive meteorite bombardments and associated crustal resorption prior to 3.9 billion years ago musthave erased the former records. In further crustal evolution at least three cycles can be distinguished. They were laid down between 4.0 and 2.5 billion years ago. The oldest terrestrial rocks from 3.8 billion years ago, gneisses of west Greenland, contain metabasaltic and metasedimentary enclaves having the age of about 4.0 billion years. They can be interpreted as relics of the early crust. So, the first 500 to 700 million years of Earth s geological history have apparently left no stratigraphic records.
