    Devonian Epoch
    The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic, spanning 60 million years from the end of the Silurian.
  • Silurian Epoch

    Silurian Epoch
    The Silurian was a time when the Earth underwent considerable changes that had important repercussions for the environment and life within it.
  • Ordovician Epoch

    Ordovician Epoch
    The Ordovician is a geologic period and system, the second of six periods of the Paleozoic Era. The Ordovician spans 41.2 million years from the end of the Cambrian Period 485.4 million years ago (Mya) to the start of the Silurian Period 443.8 Mya.

  • Miocene Epoch

    Miocene Epoch
    The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about 23.03 to 5.333 million years ago the Greek words μείων and καινός and means "less recent" because it has 18% fewer modern sea invertebrates than the Pliocene.

  • Paleocene Epoch

    Paleocene Epoch
    The Paleocene,is a geological epoch that lasted from about 66 to 56 million years ago. It is the first epoch of the Paleogene Period in the modern Cenozoic Era.
