Abstract: Displaying a spiral-shaped visualization of a geological time scale according to some aspects may include accessing a time-attributed data set representing a geological time scale of a subterranean region. The geological time scale may be segmented into a hierarchy of intervals (e.g., periods, epochs, and stages). The spiral-shaped visualization may include a path formed in a spiral formation. The path may begin at a center position of the spiral-shaped visualization and may end at an outer portion of the spiral-shaped visualization. The beginning of the path may represent a first time of the geological time scale. The ending of the path may represent a second time of the geological time scale. The spiral-shaped visualization may also be segmented to represent the hierarchy of intervals. Additionally, the spiral-shaped visualization may be interactive. Selecting an interval of the path may automatically cause the intervals of the spiral-shaped visualization to be filtered.
