In geological time the Eon is larger than the Period. The Eon is the largest division of geological time recognised by the International Commission of Stratigraphic.
The ICS have divided the time as such from largest to smallest.
- Super-Eon - (SuperEonothem) (Not recognised by the ICS but unofficially recognised e.g. Precambrian time)
- Eon - (Eonothem)
- Era - (Erathem)
- Period - (System)
- Subperiod - (SubSystem)
- Epoch - (Series)
- Age - (Stage)
- Chron - (Chronozone) (Not recognised by the ICS but is unofficially recognised usually based on reversal of earths magnetic field)

What era occurred before the current era?
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 end of the Permian period was also the end of what Era?
The permian period was the end of the paleozoic era.
What era is the current marketing period referred to as?
the relationship era
Was era or period longer?
On the geologic time scale, an era is longer than a period. There are 12 geologic eras in total and they are composed of geologic periods. For instance, the Mesozoic era is composed of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Jurassic is the period of what era?
It really wasn't an era. An Era was a much longer period of time. It was called the "Jurassic Period".
What is the last period of the Paleozoic Era?
The Permian period is the last period of the Paleozoic era
What is an era or period?
They are divisions of geologic time, based largely on the fossil record of organisms. Eras are longer subdivisions of time which are further subdivided into periods and epochs. For instance, we are currently in the Holocene epoch of the Quaternary Period, and the larger Cenozoic Era.
Is an era longer than a period?
Usually, an era refers to a specific time period, normally associated with the dates of an important event, while a period is often used to refer to events that share a characteristic, but do not have exact dates. The words are sometimes used interchangeably, and it isn't necessarily wrong to do so, since the usage is varied, but traditionally a period has been shorter than an era.
What era did the mesoproterozoic period begin?
the mesoproterozoic was an era itself not a period.
What is the name of the subdivisions of a qeologic period?
Eon --> Era --> sub-Era --> Period We are currently in: * Phanerozoic Eon * Cenozoic Era * Tertiary sub-Era * Quaternary Period
In what geologic era is the Cretaceous Period found?
It is the final period of the Mesozoic era.
What is the 1st period in the Paleozoic Era?
The first period in the Paleozoic Era was the Cambrian.
Most Recent Period in The Cenozoic Era?
The last period of the Cenozoic era is the Neogene period, which was preceded by the Paleogene period.
What era was NOT a period of the Mesozoic era?
jurassic
What Era does the Permian period belong to?
