== Usage ==
This infobox template is used to generate an infobox on the right-hand side of articles pertaining to:
* specific spans of geologic time accepted for general use (i.e. [[Cambrian]])
* regionally used subdivisions of geologic time (i.e. [[Arenig]])
* proposed subdivisions of geologic time (i.e. [[Chaotian (geology)|Chaotian]])
* subdivisions of extraterrestrial geologic time (i.e. [[Nectarian]])
