Chart orientation[edit]
Graphic representations of geological times are usually oriented with the most recent at the top. The reason is simple, it corresponds to the order of superposition of the strata that contain fossils, as they are sedimented and found in Nature. When represented horizontally, the arrow of time always heads from left to right, as in the original graph. Can you recreate the graphic by rotating it so that the most modern is on top?
