[edit] The time line illustration
I think that the right margin time line diagram could be slightly misleading, and is a bit inconsistent with other geological era diagrams.
- . The picture at a quick glance tends to give the reader the impression that the proterozoic era started approximately 1100 Ma ago.
- . This time scale has the oldest times on top, and the more recent below. Others are turned the other way around.
Unhappily, I'm not good at graphical illustrations, and do not know how to fix this myself. JoergenB (talk) 08:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
