Jump to: navigation, search

An era is the second largest subdivision of geologic time, being longer than a period, but shorter than an eon. Earth's history is typically divided into five such eras. Starting from the current and working backwards, they consist of the Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, Proterozoic and Archaean.
