Eons are the broadest category. From oldest to youngest, they are the Hadeon, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic eons. Each eon is subdivided into eras. The Phanerozoic Eon is divided into the ...

Humans are living in a geologic era with the most diverse life-forms — the Phanerozoic Eon. Beginning about 540 million years, the eon started with an explosion of the modern life we see today.

A newer, complementary theory by planetary scientist Andrew Tomkins explains the formation of some much younger gold deposits during the Phanerozoic period (approximately 650 million years ago).

Judd et al. During the Phanerozoic Eon, a vast swath of geological time that began around 540 million years ago, life diversified, populated land and endured multiple mass extinctions. All of ...

This has been tried with somehow surprising results in this paper. Milky Way related cycles on Earth of 150 Myr duration as observed for the Phanerozoic Eon are obviously not dominant in the ...

"Our work also demonstrates a strong correlation between global temperature at CO2 concentrations across the Phanerozoic, highlighting the important role of this greenhouse gas in controlling ...

The new curve reveals that Earth’s temperature has varied more than previously thought over much of the Phanerozoic Eon, the past 540 million years of geologic time when life has diversified, ...

A recent study presents a new curve of global mean surface temperature, revealing that Earth’s temperature has varied more than previously thought over much of the Phanerozoic Eon — a period marked by ...
