We live in the Cenozonic Era and the Holocene Epoch.
The Paleocene(65.5 - 55.8Ma) is an epoch in the Paleogene Period(65.5 - 23.3Ma).It is also the 1st Epoch of the Cenozoic Era(65.5Ma - Now).It is also in the Phanerozoic Eon(542Ma - Now).
Geologically speaking, we are in the Quaternary Period.
The Cenozoic Era is currently divided into 3 Periods and 7 Epochs. There is even an argument at the moment for an 8th Epoch,The Cenozoic Eta (65.5 Ma - Now)Paleogene Period (65.5 - 23.03 Ma) Paleocene Epoch (65.5 - 55.8 Ma)(65 mya to 55 mya - Rise of Mammals)Eocene Epoch (55.8 - 33.9 Ma)(55 mya to 38 mya - Saber Tooth Cats, Primitive Horses)Oligpcene Epoch (33.9 - 23.03Ma)(38 mya to 25 mya - First Primates)Neogene Period (23.03 - 2.588 Ma)Miocene Epoch (23.03 - 5.332Ma)(25 mya to 5 mya - Apes)Pliocene Epoch (5.332 - 2.588Ma)(5 mya to 2 mya - First Man)Quaternary Period (2.588 Ma - now) Pleistocene Epoch (2,588 - 11.7 Ka)(2 mya to 10,000 years ago - The Rise of Man)Holocene Epoch (11.7 Ka - Now)(10,000 years ago to present - Modern Man)mya=million years ago
470 million years ago was in the Ordovician Period (488.3 - 443.7 Ma).Phanerozoic Eon (542 Ma - Now)Paleozoic Era (542 - 251Ma)Ordovician Period (488.3 - 443.7Ma)Middle Ordovician Epoch (471.8 - 460.9Ma)Dapingian Age (471.8 - 468.1Ma)
The Hadian Eon (4576.2 to 4000 Million years) has not been subdivided into recognised Era's. The named Era's from oldest to newest are. Eoarchean Era (4,000 to 3,600 Ma) Paleoarchean Era (3,600 to 3,200 Ma) Mesoarchean Era (3,200 to 2,800 Ma) Neoarchean Era (2,800 to 2,500 Ma) Paleoproterozoic Era (2,500 to 1,600 Ma) Mesoproterozoic Era (1,600 to 1,000 Ma) Neoproterozoic Era (1,000 to 542 Ma) Paleozoic Era (542 to 251 Ma) Mesozoic Era (251 to 65.5 Ma) Cenozoic Era (65.5 Ma to Now)
eon is the period now .
The Paleocene(65.5 - 55.8Ma) is an epoch in the Paleogene Period(65.5 - 23.3Ma).It is also the 1st Epoch of the Cenozoic Era(65.5Ma - Now).It is also in the Phanerozoic Eon(542Ma - Now).
We live in the cenozoic era. The Quarternary period. Also in the 5th era.
Geologically speaking, we are in the Quaternary Period.

The Cenozoic Era is currently divided into 3 Periods and 7 Epochs.

Spinosaurus was thought to have lived from 106 to 93.6 Million years ago.This was in the Albian Age(112 - 99.6Ma) and Cenomanian Age(99.6 - 93.6Ma) of the Cretaceous Period(145.5 - 65.5Ma).They spanned the end of the Lower Cretaceous Epoch(145.5 - 99.6Ma) and the start of the Upper Cretaceous Epoch(99.6 - 65.5Ma). This was in the Mesozoic Era(251 - 65.5Ma) which was part of the Phanerozoic Eon(542Ma - Now).
An era is a span of time, so there was no era at that time. It was, however, the end of one era and the beginning of another. More specifically it was the end of the Mesozoic and the beginning of the Cenozoic.
The current epoch is the Holocene. It began about 11,700 years ago.
470 million years ago was in the Ordovician Period (488.3 - 443.7 Ma).Phanerozoic Eon (542 Ma - Now)Paleozoic Era (542 - 251Ma)Ordovician Period (488.3 - 443.7Ma)Middle Ordovician Epoch (471.8 - 460.9Ma)Dapingian Age (471.8 - 468.1Ma)
We are currently in the Cenozoioc Era (sub-era Tertiary); the era is divided into 3 periods, starting with the Palaeogene, then the Neogene, & now the Quaternary period. The era before this one was called the Mesozoic Era
