Agradezco de antemano su ayuda.

The lower bluff marks the boundary between the backshore zone and the landslide material. The landslide material area appears to coincide with a noticeable bulge of the shoreline seaward of the adjacent coast in both the air photos and the satellite imagery. A localized bulge in the shoreline can also be observed by looking at the surveyed toe of the bluff (Figure 3). The trestle is located at the approximate apex of the bulge. This bulge advances the shoreline a distance of approximately ±50 m over an alongshore distance of approximately 8 km. The shoreline bulge is also visible in available imagery and has likely been present over a ***geologic timespan***. This shoreline bulge may result in a steeper nearshore environment compared with adjacent shorelines which may result in higher wave energies in the nearshore. The effect of this bulge on coastal processes is unknown at this time.

división de tiempo geológico

Example sentence:

Se propuso el principio del Fanerozoico (hace aproximadamente 540 millones de años) como una ***división de tiempo geológico***, ya que se pensaba que coincidía con el inicio de la vida.

El eonotema no debe confundirse con el eón en sí mismo, que es la correspondiente ***división de tiempo geológico*** que abarca una cantidad específica de (millones de) años...
