  2. Geologic time scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_time_scale

    As such, this table is not to scale and does not accurately represent the relative time-spans of each geochronologic unit. While the Phanerozoic Eon looks longer than the rest, it merely spans ~539 million years (~12% of Earth's history), whilst the previous three eons [note 2] collectively span ~3,461 million years (~76% of Earth's history ...

  3. Aeon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeon

    According to Christian universalism, the Greek New Testament scriptures use the word aión (αἰών) to mean a long period and the word aiṓnion (αἰώνιον) to mean "during a long period"; thus, there was a time before the aeons, and the aeonian period is finite. After each person's mortal life ends, they are judged worthy of aeonian ...

  4. Archean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archean

    Instead of being based on stratigraphy, the beginning and end of the Archean Eon are defined chronometrically. The eon's lower boundary or starting point of 4,031±3 million years ago is officially recognized by the International Commission on Stratigraphy, [1] which is the age of the oldest known intact rock formations on Earth. Evidence of ...

  8. Proterozoic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proterozoic

    The Proterozoic Eon was a very tectonically active period in the Earth's history. Oxygen changed the chemistry allowing for extensive geological changes. Volcanism was also extensive resulting in more geologic changes. The late Archean Eon to Early Proterozoic Eon corresponds to a period of increasing crustal recycling, suggesting subduction.

  9. Phanerozoic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phanerozoic

    The Phanerozoic [5] is the current and the latest of the four geologic eons in the Earth's geologic time scale, covering the time period from 538.8 million years ago to the present. [1]
