This set of four charts provide an update of the million year numbers assigned to Australian palynological zone boundaries to the latest Geologic Time Scale 2004, authored by Gradstein et al. (2004), over the geological time interval Jurassic to Recent. These charts have been drafted to help display the relationships of the palynological zones to the new timescale and to assist in scaling the zones and subzones, so that most million year ages assigned to the zone boundaries are mostly numbers with not more than one decimal place.
