[edit] AMK152's Geotimeboxes

AMK152 proposed in edits of 27 December 2006 a geotimebox for this article. I feel that the box information that is appropriate for the article is already in the footer, and that other information can be supplied where important, by links from the text. See discussion at Template talk:Geotimebox. --Bejnar 20:18, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paleogene symbol

What is the abbreviation for Paleogene--is it Pg ?

For technical usage, the US Geological Survey and others use a capital P with a small capital G attached to it as shown in this PDF - [1]. Without special fonts you can't do it, so Pg probably will serve. However, I have also seen it as PE. Just explain whatever you use at first usage, and then be consistent and non-conflicting with other symbols such as P for Permian, double-barred P for Pennsylvanian....
