How long ago was the first ice age? What was the climate like during the Mesozoic era? What is a geologic time scale? How is the Cenozoic Era different from the Mesozoic Era? What was the Earth like during the Triassic Period?
Did long neck dinosaurs live during the Cretaceous Period? Was the Charonosaurus from the Cretaceous Period? Did Spinosaurus live in the late Cretaceous Period? Was the Jurassic Period during the Mesozoic or Cenozoic Era? What period of the Mesozoic Era did birds first appear? What period did ...
These ancient trees persisted for nearly 200 million years until they all but vanished. Now they line city streets.
The Mesozoic era was the age of dinosaurs, but also consisted of birds and mammals. The final era is Cenozoic, which is the time period in which the mammals began to evolve, and populate the Earth, also sea life evolved. The geologic time scale gives us a clue of how Earth has ...
Since limestone is made from sediments and fossil fragments cemented together with calcium carbonate during the Paleozoic Era, researchers have found preserved brachiopods, corals, crinoids, gastropods, and even sharks from the Mississippian Period in the bedrock. Even animals from the Cenozoic Era — ...
Cenozoic Era: Dinosaur Extinction to Human Evolution The Proterozoic Eon The Proterozoic Era was a time period in Earth’s geologic history that spanned from about 542 to 2500 million years ago. It was a long era with numerous changes to the Earth’s system like multicellular life. ...
The Age of Mammals and Homo Sapiens (66 million years ago – now) Ultimately, the start of theCenozoic Erawas the demise of dinosaurs. After a 6-mile wide asteroid hit Earth, a dust cloud blocked the sun. This caused temperatures to plummet which was the heart of the damage from the ...
Avocados were a popular snack food long before humans hit the scene. In the Cenozoic era, prehistoric megafauna like mammoths and giant ground sloths wouldgobble the fruit wholeand then travel long distances, before pooping out the seed and thus dispersing the trees. Because of this animal-specif...

The Hadean eon is not subdivided into eras, but encompasses the formation of the earth to 4 billion years ago. The other three eons are subdivided into three to four eras, which each stretch several hundreds of millions of years. The current era is the Cenozoic era in the Phanerozoic Eo...
