Turonian

93.9000 – 89.8000 Ma

The Turonian is, in the ICS' geologic timescale, the second age in the Late Cretaceous Epoch, or a stage in the Upper Cretaceous Series. It spans the time between 93.9 ± 0.2 Ma and 89.8 ± 0.3 Ma. The Turonian is preceded by the Cenomanian Stage and underlies the Coniacian Stage.
