Pre-Tolstojan, also Pretolstojan Period, refers to the oldest period of the history of Mercury, 4500–3900 MYA. It is the "first period of the Eomercurian Era and of the Mercurian Eon, as well as being the first period in Mercury's geologic history", and refers to its formation and the 6 million or so years in its aftermath.[1]

Shouldn't that be *600* million?

Using the Geologic Data Scale as a Source

Flattering, but the Eomercurian Era and Mercurian Eon was a scheme I had personally developed for my website that was never meant to be a formal source, but rather a quick reference guide with reliable information. Most the stuff of that site comes from reliable sources, but the scheme for other planets' eras and eon was completely made by me and I no longer endorse it or plan to use it when I put up the updated Mercury pages on the new version of the website (Geologic Data Scale 2). I haven't removed it, but would like to inform you all so you can handle it. Jntg4Games (talk) 03:08, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
