However, Rhaetian or even Early Jurassic age of this unit was also advocated in the literature.

Famous quotes containing the word age:
“Old age begins in the nursery, and before the young American is put into jacket and trowsers, he says, “I want something which I never saw before” and “I wish I was not I.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Maybe in the ‘90s or possibly in the next century people will look upon the ‘80s as the age of masturbation, when it was taken to the limit; that might be all that’s going on right now in a big way.”
