How did the continents change from the Precambrian to the Permian to the Jurassic to the Eocene?
From the Precambrian to the Permian, continents shifted and collided to form the supercontinent Pangaea, altering climates and ecosystems significantly. During the Jurassic, Pangaea began to break apart, leading to the formation of the Atlantic Ocean and the separation of landmasses like Laurasia and Gondwana. By the Eocene, further continental drift had resulted in the modern configuration of continents, influencing ocean currents and climate patterns. These tectonic movements played a crucial role in the evolution of flora and fauna throughout these geological periods.

What are all the periods for all the eras?
Paleozoic Era: Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian. Mesozoic Era: Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous. Cenozoic Era: Paleogene (Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene), Neogene (Miocene, Pliocene), Quaternary (Pleistocene, Holocene).
What era did continents assume their current positions?
Mesozoic Era
When was the lower Eocene period?
The Eocene Epoch, lasted from 56 to 33.9 million years ago. There is no such thing as the "lower Eocene period"!
What are the 12 main periods in the four main eras of earths past?
Cenozoic * Recent (Holocene) * Pleistocene * Pliocene * Miocene * Oligocene * Eocene * Paleocene Mesozoic Mesozoic * Cretaceous * Jurassic * Triassic Paleozoic * Permian * Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian Mississippian) * Devonian * Silurian * Ordovician * Cambrian Pre-Cambrian You can remember this using the following mnemonic (starting at the bottom) Camels ordinarily sit down carefully perhaps their joints creek probably early oiling will prevent permanent rheumatism.

What are all the ages of the Earth and their order?
The ages of Earth are like several stages of the Earth. If you research about each of the stages I have typed below you may get more information, I recommend Wikipedia (If it has it). It starts like this: Pre-Cambrian, Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene. Note: Some of the ages are named after particular places. Other sites might mention some other information or some ages between some of the ones I've given you.
What is the time of the mammals?
THE ANSWER IS EOCENE
Did the Laramide Orogeny begin in the Latest Cretaceous and continued into Middle Eocene time?
very late cretaceous to eocene
What are the different era?
Modern dating techniques have given a range of dates as to when the various geologic time periods have started, as they are listed below: Cenozoic Quaternary Holocene 10,000 years ago Estimated millions of years: Pleistocene 1.9 Tertiary Pliocene 6 Miocene 25 Oligocene 38 Eocene 55 Paleocene 65 Mesozoic Cretaceous 135 Jurassic 200 Triassic 250 Paleozoic Permian 285 Carboniferous (divided into 350 Mississippian and Pennsylvanian periods by some in the U.S.) Devonian 410 Silurian 425 Ordovician 500 Cambrian 570 Precambrian Proterozoic 2500 Archeozoic 3800 Azoic 4600
What is the definition of Eocene?
Eocene comes from the Greek words meaning "dawn of the present." It is the age of the first large land mammals.

What is an andrewsarchus?
An andrewsarchus is an extinct mammal belonging to the Eocene epoch.
