The Cenozoic era has three periods. These periods include the Paleogene, the Neogene, and Quaternary. This era covers a span of 66 million years ago until present time.
The current era is Cenozoic era. The preceding era was Mesozoic era. However if you are looking for periods in Cenozoic era, the current one is Neogene period, the preceding period was paleogene period.
The question is very muddled but it can be answeredThe Cenozoic Era started with the end of the dinosaurs and is ongoing 65.5 mya to the present thereforeOf the above the following are in the Cenozoic:QuaternaryTertiaryAnd the following are out of (older than) the Cenozoic:Cretaceous
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.
Several periods of mass extinction

The Eras go like this: Precambrian Era Paleozoic Era Mesozoic Era Cenozoic Era Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, and we live in the Cenozoic Era. Paleozoic means "ancient life" Mesozoic means "middle life" Cenozoic means "recent life" All eras end in a huge disaster

We are living in the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period in the Cenozoic Era of geologic time.
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
the Cenozoic era which was 66 million years ago & advanced
Archeozoic and ProterozoicThe two periods of the Cenozoic Era are the Tertiary and the Quatemary.
