There have been 3 eras in the Phanerozoic Eon.
The Paleozoic Era (542 - 251Ma)
The Mesozoic Era (251 - 65Ma)
The Cenozoic Era (65Ma - Now)
There are 4 eras, and they are the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic eras.
The Phanerozoic Eon(542Ma - now) is made up of the Paleozoic Era(542 - 251 Ma), the MesozoicEra(251 - 65.5Ma) and the Cenozoic Era(65.5Ma - now)
well the that isn't very useful to society because that's a weird word that most people cant pernounce
i believe that there was only one era that covered the last 542 million years which was the phanerozoic period
In general speech, an eon can refer to a very long period of time. In science, an eon is the largest division in the geologic time scale. An eon is subdivided into two or more eras and lasts around a billion years or so. In Earth's history there are four eons in total: Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic. We are currently in the Phanerozoic Eon.

Three eras of the Phanerozoic Eon.Carboniferous - 359.2-299 million years ago - Plants Covered the Earth.Devonian - 417-354 million years ago - The Age of FishSilurian - 443-26 million years ago - Plants Move Onto Land

how was the phanerozoic eon divided.
This three eras was included in the Proterozoic Eon.The first Era was the Paleoproterozoic Era;next is the Mesoproterozoic Era;then the last is the Neoproterozoic Era. This another three eras was according to the Phanerozoic Eon.The first Era was the Paleozoic Era;followed up by the Mesozoic Era;then the lastly was the Cenozoic Era.
The geological time scale is divided into: Eons (Such as the Proterozoic and the Phanerozoic) THEN Eras (Such as the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic) THEN Periods (Such as the Cretaceous and the Quaternary) THEN Series, alternatively Epoch (Such as the Pleistocene and the Holocene) THEN Stage (Such as the Campanian and the Tarantian)
There have been many ice ages in the Phanerozoic apart from the present one, in fact there were also many ice ages in the Proterozoic so it is not a very unusual thing to happen.
Most scientists agree that there are 3 eras for every eon.
