Re: The geologic column
In the most fundimental sense, the "geologic column" is a time line.
It is divided into the preCambrian and the Phanerazoic, which are in turn subdivided into smaller units, which are subdivided into even smaller units, which are (often) subdivided into even smaller units.
For the Phanerazoic (Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic), the divisions are (as I understand it) defined on the presence or absence of certain fossils (ie the type of life present in those time periods).
Most prominently, the ends of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic are marked by major extinction events.

Looking for unconformities?
I'm looking at MANY layers parallel to EACH OTHER. Is there a geological formation anywhere of ONE layer cutting diagonally through the others?
The Unconformities and the age of the Earth: Challenge to Anti-Climacus and other YECs topic may or may not be what you're looking for.
Warning to those with slow connections (like me) - Graphics at the topic cause the page to load slow.
Warning to those with slow brains (like me) - Uh, I forgot what I was going to say.
