Although rich, this record is random and incomplete. Interpreting it is like trying to reconstruct a manuscript whose pages have been torn out and scattered across the world. While geologists try to read the individual folios, it is the task of geochronology, the science of measuring 'deep time,' to put numbers on the pages."
