We live in the Cenozonic Era and the Holocene Epoch.
The Cenozoic Era
Miocene
Anomalocaris lived during the Cambrian period, which is part of the Paleozoic era. The Cambrian period occurred approximately 541 to 485 million years ago.
In geological time a period is smaller than an era but larger than a Epoch.The International Commission of Stratigraphic have divided the time as such from largest to smallest.Super-Eon - (SuperEonothem) (Not recognised by the ICS but unofficially recognised e.g. Precambrian time)Eon - (Eonothem)Era - (Erathem)Period - (System)Subperiod - (SubSystem)Epoch - (Series)Age - (Stage)Chron - (Chronozone) (Not recognised by the ICS but is unofficially recognised usually based on reversal of earths magnetic field)
We live in the Cenozonic Era and the Holocene Epoch.
Eon, Era, and Epoch: APEX :D
We live in the Holocene Epoch, of the Quaternary Period, in the Cenozoic Era
We live in the Cenozoic era. Currently, we are in the Holocene epoch of the Quaternary period. Humans evolved in the Pleistocene epoch which was also in the Quaternary period.
An epoch is smaller than an era or a period.
We currently live in the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period of the Cenozoic Era of the Phanerozoic Eon.
The Holocene epoch, The Quaternary period, The Cenozoic era, The Information Decade, The Technology Data, The Caraophone Wire-where era and The Technology Age the next period will begin in 30000 it will be called the Rehostiric Period(meaning dInosaurs or old things may come alive, but humans are or wont be affected)
The Cenozoic Era
We are currently in the Quaternary Period of the Cenozoic Era.
Miocene
The Jurassic era, which lasted from approximately 201 to 145 million years ago, is characterized by the dominance of dinosaurs. In the middle of the Jurassic period, the Tithonian epoch saw the evolution of larger predators like Allosaurus and Stegosaurus.
We are currently in the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago. This epoch is part of the Quaternary period in the Cenozoic era.
