Because defining a GSSP depends on finding well-preserved geologic sections and identifying key events, this task becomes more difficult as one goes farther back in time. Before 630 million years ago, boundaries on the geologic timescale are defined simply by reference to fixed dates, known as

This includes that the outcrop has to be located where it can be visited quickly (International airport and good roads), has to be kept in good condition (ideally a national reserve), in accessible terrain, extensive enough to allow repeated sampling and open to researchers of all

Once a GSSP boundary has been agreed upon, a 'golden spike' is driven into the geologic section to mark the precise boundary for future geologists (though in practice the 'spike' need neither be golden nor an actual spike). As such, GSSPs are also sometimes referred to as

As of 2024, 79 of the 101 stages that need a GSSP have a ratified GSSP. 187: 931: 1368: 1867: 91: 1210: 1443: 1307: 1422: 111: 87: 1602:"Geotime chart displaying geologic time periods compared to the fossil record – Deals with chronology and classifications for laymen (not GSSPs)" 2488: 1638: 1427: 1577: 1451: 1985: 2186: 1782: 1017: 1609: 1822: 1233:"Guidelines for the establishment of global chronostratigraphic standards by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS)" 935:
