(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。

  1. ^ Paleontologists often refer to faunal stage英語faunal stages rather than geologic (geological) periods. The stage nomenclature is quite complex. For an excellent time-ordered list of faunal stages, see The Paleobiology Database. [2006-03-19]. 
  2. ^ 2.0 2.1 所有全球年代地層單位均由其底界的全球界線層型剖面和點位(GSSP)界定,包括長期由全球標準地層年齡(GSSA)界定的太古宇和元古宇各單位。斜體代表非正式名稱或尚未命名單位的臨時名稱。圖件及已批准GSSP的詳情參見國際地層委員會官網。GSSP被標記為*,而GSSA被標記為+
    年齡值仍在不斷修訂;顯生宇和埃迪卡拉系的單位不能由年齡界定,而只能由GSSP界定。顯生宇中沒有確定GSSP或精確年齡值的單位,則標註了近似年齡值(~)。

  4. ^ Historically, the 新生代 has been divided up into the 第四紀 and 第三紀 sub-eras, as well as the 新近紀 and 古近紀 periods. The 2009 version of the ICS time chart recognizes a slightly extended Quaternary as well as the Paleogene and a truncated Neogene, the Tertiary having been demoted to informal status.
