[2] [3] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, [4] with about 1.2 million or 14% documented, the rest not yet described. [5] However, a 2016 report estimates an additional 1 trillion microbial species, with only 0.001% described.
Basin Groups Era begins on Earth. c. 4,450 Ma – 100 million years after the Moon formed, the first lunar crust, formed of lunar anorthosite, differentiates from lower magmas. The earliest Earth crust probably forms similarly out of similar material. On Earth the pluvial period starts, in which the Earth's crust cools enough to let oceans form.

The authors therefore think the moon formed around 4.51 billion years ago — more than 100 million years earlier than the commonly accepted estimate. ... the study’s lead author and a professor ...
Earth formed in this manner about 4.54 billion years ago (with an uncertainty of 1%) [25] [26] [4] and was largely completed within 10–20 million years. [27] In June 2023, scientists reported evidence that the planet Earth may have formed in just three million years, much faster than the 10−100 million years thought earlier.
A 180-million-year-old fossil has been moved to a permanent home in a museum's new gallery. Milton Keynes Museum in Wolverton, Buckinghamshire, opened the gallery space on Thursday - the same day ...
The mean time between major impacts is estimated to be at least 100 million years. During the last 540 million years, simulations demonstrated that such an impact rate is sufficient to cause five or six mass extinctions and 20 to 30 lower severity events. This matches the geologic record of significant extinctions during the Phanerozoic Eon ...
The government said fossil records show the Australian lungfish has been around for 100 million years. It is also a relatively heavy fish, weighing on average about 88 pounds.
