What are the differences between the paleozoic mesozoic and Cenozoic eras?
The Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic are the 3 Eras of the Phanerozoic Eon.The Paleozoic Era occurred between 542 and 251 million years ago. It lasted 291 million years. It was made up of 6 geological periods. The Cambrian Period(542 - 488Ma), the Ordovician(488 - 443Ma), the Silurian(433 - 416Ma), the Devonian(416 - 359Ma), the Carboniferous(359 - 299Ma) and the Permian(299 - 251Ma).The Mesozoic Era occurred between 251 and 65.5 million years ago. It lasted 185.5 million years. It was made up of 3 geological periods. The Triassic Period (251 - 199.6Ma), the Jurassic(199.6 - 145.5Ma) and the Cretaceous(145.5Ma).The Cenozoic Era occurred between 65.5 million years ago to now. It has lasted 65.5 million years to date. It has been made up of 3 geological periods to date. The Paleogene(65.5 - 23.03Ma), the Neogene(23.03 - 2.588Ma) and the current period the Quaternary Period (2.588Ma - Now)
Two geologic eras that occurred before the existence of the first man?
Mesozoic Era and Paleozoic Era.
Where is the Paleozoic strata?
The Paleozoic era occurred between 570 and 230 million years ago. The Paleozoic strata can be found below the Mesozoic strata and is characterized by the appearance of marine invertebrates and primitive reptiles.
What era and period occurred in 251 to 65 million years ago?
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.
