The question is very muddled but it can be answered
The Cenozoic Era started with the end of the dinosaurs and is ongoing 65.5 mya to the present therefore
Of the above the following are in the Cenozoic:
- Quaternary
- Tertiary
And the following are out of (older than) the Cenozoic:
- Cretaceous

How many periods are in each era?
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.
What is the Cenozoic time range?
No. The Cenzoic Era is the current era.
What are the periods of the Cenozoic era?
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.
What does cenazoic mean?
relating to or denoting the most recent era, following the Mesozoic era and comprising the Tertiary and Quaternary periods.
What are some major events for the Cenozoic Quaternary era?
One of the major geologic events was the continuing breakup of Pangaea (which began during the Jurassic). At the close of the Cretaceous period, another mass extinction occurred. Some scientists suggest that a large meteor impact may have been responsible.Another one is that by the end of the cretaceous period,all dinousars had died.
The major divisions in geologic time are?
Precambrian Paleozoic: -cambrian -ordovician -silurian -devonian -mississippian -pennsylvanian -permian Mezozoic: -triassic -jurassic -cretaceous Cenozoic: -tertiary -quaternary
What are the major subdivisions of geologic times?
The major subdivisions are the Precambrian, Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, which are subdivided into Archean and Proterozoic (Precambrian), Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous (or Missisipian and Pennsylvanian in the US) and Permian (Palaeozoic), Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous (Mesozoic) and Tertiary and Quaternary (Cenozoic).

No. The Cenzoic Era is the current era.
What is the periods of Cenozoic era are subdivide into?
Tertiary
Eras are divided into periods which can be further divided into?
Eras divide into periods and periods divide into epochs. The Palaeozoic Era is composed of the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian periods (in that order). The Mesozoic Era is divided into the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The Cenozoic Era is divided into the Tertiary and Quaternary periods. The Tertiary period is divided into the Palaeocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene epochs while the Quaternary period is divided into the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. Note that eras are not the longest lengths of time. Eras may compose longer stretches of time known as eons/aeons.
What are the periods of the Cenozoic?
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.
What are the 7 periods that species have roamed on earth?
The earliest period when amphibious creatures crawled out of the ocean to walk on land would have been the Devonian Period. Following that were the Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous,Tertiary and Quaternary Periods.
How is the geological time divided?
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)
What is Earths most recent era?
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
What are the periods of the Cenozoic era?
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.
What Time Periods Are you In?
We are living in the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period in the Cenozoic Era of geologic time.
