Abstract
The five most recently published Mesozoic timescales would seem to provide log-normal distributions of ages for each published horizon. However, some sort of resolution limit also appears to have been reached, in that the age values for horizons from the most recently published timescale are at the expected average values for the prior four timescales to within resolution error claimed for the age of each horizon. It would also seem that the selection of timescale no longer has a significant impact on results from basin modeling calculations, as exemplified by computations of excess pressure development and of cumulative oil generation history for a North Sea well done using each of the five most recent timescales. The differences in results are shown to be negligible.
