Sir, differentiate chronostratigraphic units and geochronologic units.

. To understand the difference between these two scales, consider and hourglass. Sand falling through the neck of the hourglass is deposited in the lower reservoir over a certain time interval (1 hour). A chronostratigraphic unit is equivalent to the sand deposit while the associated geochronologic unit is equivalent to the amount of time over which the sand deposit accumulated (1 hour).

    Chronostratigraphic units are rock mass deposited in a particular time interval whereas geochronological units are just time. There is no relevance of geochronological units with rock mass, they just represents a time interval. See the attached figure for the list of geochronological units and corresponding Chronostratigraphic units (rock mass deposited during that particular time interval).
