Quaternary.
A period is smaller than an era in the geologic time scale. It is further subdivided into epochs and ages.
The order of units of geologic time from longest to shortest is: eon, era, period, epoch.
Quaternary.
After an era, the next smallest division of time would be an epoch. An epoch is equal to around 10,000,000 years, where as an era is 100,000,000 years.
Neoprene is not a geologic period of the Earth. The Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Triassic are all recognized geologic periods that represent different intervals of time in the Earth's history.
Yes, one million years is a significant period in geologic time. It is equivalent to 1/485th of the age of the Earth (4.54 billion years). In the geologic time scale, it falls within the Quaternary period, which includes the most recent 2.6 million years of Earth's history.
No, a geologic era is a longer unit of time than a geologic period. Geologic eras are divided into periods, which are further subdivided into epochs. The hierarchy from largest to smallest is era, period, epoch.

Cenezoic
The most recent Ice Age is part of the Quaternary Period within the Cenozoic Era. Specifically, the Ice Age is associated with the Pleistocene Epoch, which occurred from about 2.6 million years ago to around 11,700 years ago.
Cenozoic is not a major period of the geologic time scale. The scale is broken down into eras. Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic are all part of the Phanerozic era.
It continues up to the present time and is the period that we live in. The Quaternary Period is divided into two epochs :The Pleistocene Epoch - 1.8 million to 11,000 years agoThe Holocene Epoch - 11,000 years ago to presentEach epoch has unique characteristics for climate and geography, so the plants and animals that lived during those times are unique to each epoch, too.The Geologic Time Naming SystemIn the early 1800's a system for naming geologic time periods was devised using four periods of geologic time. They were named using Latin root words. In Latin, quatr means four. Early geologists chose the name Quaternary for the fourth period in this system. We no longer use this system of dividing geologic time, but the name, Quaternary, is still commonly used for the most recent period in geologic time.The system for naming the periods is constantly changing. As more information is collected, analyzed, and debated, the divisions created for looking at geologic time changes. The Quaternary Period is no longer an official geologic time period. This time is now considered part of the larger Neogene Period.
A period is smaller than an era in the geologic time scale. It is further subdivided into epochs and ages.
Geraghty Period
We are living in the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period in the Cenozoic Era of geologic time.
