Bathonian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the geologic timescale the Bathonian epoch is a stage during the Middle Jurassic, of the Mesozoic era of the Phanerozoic eon. It lasted from approximately 167.7 Ma to around 164.7 Ma (million years ago). The Bathonian age succeeds the Bajocian age and precedes the Callovian age.
The stage takes its name from Bath, a spa town built on Jurassic limestone.
