Template documentation
Usage
Specify parameters as instructed below.
- {{{name}}} will default to the name of the page if unspecified.
- {{{period}}} should specify the main period in which the unit lies; if this value is a unlinked standard period name, this value will colour the taxobox according to the international standard period colours.
- If {{{age}}} is unspecified, then the value of {{{period}}} will also be used to illustrate the unit's stratigraphic range (see Template:Period color).
- When specified, the mark up text for {{{age}}} appears for the unit's stratigraphic range, and if includes Template:fossilrange or Template:Geological range may illustrate the unit's temporal range (see examples).

Cretaceous chalk | |
---|---|
Stratigraphic range: | |
Lithology | |
Primary | Chalk |
Location | |
Country | U.K. |
{{infobox rockunit | name = Cretaceous chalk | period = Late Cretaceous | prilithology = Chalk | country = U.K.}}
Dakota Formation / Group | |
---|---|
Stratigraphic range: Albian-Cenomanian, around |
Because the Dakota straddles the Albian-Cenomanian (early/late) boundary, the Cretaceous is used for the colour:
{{Infobox rockunit | name = Dakota Formation / Group | age = <br/>[[Albian]]-[[Cenomanian]],<br/>around {{fossilrange|100|95}} | period = Cretaceous}}
