Chronostratigraphic units are bodies of rocks, layered or unlayered, that were formed during a specified interval of geologic time. The units of geologic time during which chronostratigraphic units were formed are called geochronologic units.

The relation of chronostratigraphic units to other kinds of stratigraphic units is discussed in Chapter 10.
