Age
So far no absolute ages have been determined, but the formation is most commonly assigned to a late Carnian to early Norian age on paleontological grounds, i.e. an age range of about 220 to 215 million years BP. However, Rhaetian or even Early Jurassic age of this unit was also advocated in the literature.

Famous quotes containing the word age:
“To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.”
—Bernard Baruch (1870–1965)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
“Young people don’t know what age is, and old people forget what youth was.”
—Irish Proverb.
