Which period came first the Ordovician or the Carboniferous?
The Ordovician period came first. It started 485.4 million years ago and finished 443.8 million years ago. Then came the Silurian and Devonian periods, followed at 358.9 million years ago by the Carboniferous.
How many periods are in each era?
there are different periods in each era. In the Cenozoic era, there are 2 periods, Quaternary and Tertiary. Mesozoic era has 3 periods, Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic. Paleozoic has 7 periods, Permian, Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, and Cambrian. Precambrian is just the present, no time periods in it.
What are the time periods of the paleozoic era?
From youngest to oldest: 1. Permian 2. Pennsylvanian 3. Mississippian 4. Devonian 5. Silurian 6. Ordovician 7. Cambrian
What are the common abbreviations for the geologic time periods?
Cambrian-Barred capitol "C" Ordivician-"O" Silurian-"S" Devonian-"D" Carboniferous-"C" Permian-"P" Triassic-"T" Jurassic-"J" Cretaceous-"K" due to the German translation "Kreide" meaning chalk Paleogene-"Pg" Neogene-"N"
What does 'Devonian' mean?
The Devonian is a geologic time period and system of the Paleozoic era spanning from 416 to 359 million years ago. It is named after rocks that were studied in Devon, England. It comes between the Silurian and the Cretaceous periods.
What are the periods that divide the early paleozoic?
Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian Periods

What are the 7 periods that species have roamed on earth?
The earliest period when amphibious creatures crawled out of the ocean to walk on land would have been the Devonian Period. Following that were the Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous,Tertiary and Quaternary Periods.

Which era of geological time lasted the longest?
The Paleozoic Era lasted from about 540 million years ago to about 280 million years ago. It included the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian Periods.
What are the major subdivisions of geologic times?
The major subdivisions are the Precambrian, Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, which are subdivided into Archean and Proterozoic (Precambrian), Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous (or Missisipian and Pennsylvanian in the US) and Permian (Palaeozoic), Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous (Mesozoic) and Tertiary and Quaternary (Cenozoic).

What is the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian periods grouped together?
The Carboniferous Period
What dinosaur periods where there?
The main dinosaur periods were the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. they were in the mesozoic era. there were other periods before dinosaurs like the carboniferous.
Carboniferous period was subdivided into what two periods?
Mesozoic era and Cenozoic Era
