Abstract: In the last years some eminent earthscientists have been proposing to discard the Quaternary from theGeological Time Table, adding the Pleistocene and Holocene to the period Neogene as new Series.However, in May 2009 the International Stratigraphy Commission decided that the Quaternary Periodwould be preserved in the time table, what is more, it enlarged the Neogene-Quaternary boundary from1.8 to 2.6 ma. Such a change or regulation in the Geological Time Table would affect directly theinternal geological studies. Here, recent and possible developments are presented in this subject withadding some comments and suggestions.
