    determined relative to one another (from oldest to most recent). This can be a local series of events or be applied to global events. The eras and periods of the geological time column were established using relative time (mostly based upon the fossil content). Absolute Time - The discovery of radiometric dating allowed geologists to assign a numerical age to the formation of certain rocks. Fixing how old they actually were in billions (Ga)‚ millions (Ma) or thousands (Ka) of years before the
