In the
geologic timescale the 'Bathonian'
epoch is a stage during the
Middle Jurassic, of the
Mesozoic era of the
Phanerozoic eon. It lasted from approximately 167.7
Ma to around 164.7 Ma (million years ago). The Bathonian age succeeds the
Bajocian age and precedes the
Callovian age.
The stage takes its name from
Bath, a
spa town in England built on Jurassic
limestone.
