{{Lua|Module:Infobox|Module:InfoboxImage}}

==Usage==
Specify parameters as instructed below.
* {{{name}}} will default to the name of the page if unspecified.
* {{{period}}} should specify the main period in which the unit lies; if this value is a unlinked standard period name, this value will colour the taxobox according to the international standard period colours.
* If {{{age}}} is unspecified, then the value of {{{period}}} will also be used to illustrate the unit's stratigraphic range (see [[:Template:Period color]]).
* When specified, the mark up text for {{{age}}} appears for the unit's stratigraphic range, and if includes [[:Template:fossilrange]] or [[:Template:Geological range]] may illustrate the unit's temporal range (see [[#rangeEx|examples]]).

{{Infobox rockunit

{{anchor|rangeEx}}
Because the Dakota straddles the Albian-Cenomanian (early/late) boundary, the Cretaceous is used for the colour:
