Epoch,
Era,
Eon
Nature counts sedimentary time.
Holocene,
Pleistocene,
Pliocene
Uranium beats half-life to lead
Ceno,
Meso,
Palaeozoic

Devonian,
Silurian,
Ordovician

Cambrian,
Pre-Cambrian,
Proterozoic.

dumb,
indifferent

Archean,
Palaeo,
Mesozoic
Eon, Era, Epoch
Neogene,
Holocene, Human
Human Human.
Post-Human.
