Difference between Geologic time scale and Paleocene

Geologic time scale vs. Paleocene

The geologic time scale (GTS) is a system of chronological dating that relates geological strata (stratigraphy) to time. The Paleocene or Palaeocene, the "old recent", is a geological epoch that lasted from about.
