(epoch)是指地質學考古學的一個時間單位。

最初由萊伊爾在他的《地質學原理》一書中,首先使用「世」的附加時間單元來表示恐龍時代以後的時期。其中由遠而近有漸新世(Oligocene「有一點近」)、中新世(Miocene「頗近」)、上新世(Pliocene「較近」)、更新世(Pleistocene「最近」)等。

萊伊爾原本想用「-synchronous」作為這幾個字的字尾,卻遭當時具有影響力的惠衛耳(William Whewell,1794年-1866年)牧師基於字根學上的理由反對,建議改用「-eous」當字尾,最後的「-cene」算是折衷的辦法。

  2. ^ 2.0 2.1 所有全球年代地层单位均由其底界的全球界线层型剖面和点位(GSSP)界定,包括长期由全球标准地层年龄(GSSA)界定的太古宇和元古宇各单位。斜体代表非正式名称或尚未命名单位的临时名称。图件及已批准GSSP的详情参见国际地层委员会官网。GSSP被标记为*,而GSSA被标记为+
    年龄值仍在不断修订;显生宇和埃迪卡拉系的单位不能由年龄界定,而只能由GSSP界定。显生宇中没有确定GSSP或精确年龄值的单位,则标注了近似年龄值(~)。
