Shorthand symbols for geo periods
Submitted by camBrian on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 20:39.

Hi folks,

I was wondering if someone could help me find the commonly used geological period shorthand symbols, such as 'K' for Cretaceous.

Thanks

Cambrian C (C with a line through the centre - strikethrough doesn't appear to work here)
Ordovician O
Silurian S
Devonian D
Carboniferous C
Permian P
Triassic T (with an R in the stalk of the T)
Cretaceous K
Tertiary T

Geologists like a nappe between thrusts
