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:
“Oh, never this whelming east wind swells
But it seems like the sea’s return
To the ancient lands where it left the shells
Before the age of the fern....”

“Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunities for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Nothing dates one so dreadfully as to think someplace is uptown.... At our age one must be watchful of these conversational gray hairs.”
—Ruth Gordon (1896–1985)
