Do we still have time for waking up to the realities of our new geologic era?

Hegen's work circles around the concept of the Anthropocene, which is the proposed term for a new geologic era of human dominance over Earth's geology and ecosystems.

The tree's demise was announced not long after a group of scientists made a determination of much bigger import: the recognition of a new geologic era, the Anthropocene.

Ganzhou is one of the most productive oviratporid regions of the world, and this newly discovered dino now represents the seventh known species to live in the area during this bygone geologic era.

The Anthropocene is the increasingly mainstream term for the geologic era of human dominance over the environment, marked in 13 by the first nuclear tests and the proliferation of plastic pollution that might outlast humanity itself.

The infant world would have been rent by volcanism and bombarded by other planetary crumbs, making for an environment so horrible, and so inhospitable to life, that the geologic era is named the Hadean, for the Greek underworld.

The Neoarchean (; also spelled Neoarchaean) is a geologic era within the Archaean Eon. The Neoarchean spans the period from --the period being defined chronometrically and not referenced to a specific level in a rock section on Earth.

The Mesoarchean (, also spelled Mesoarchaean) is a geologic era within the Archean Eon, spanning . The era is defined chronometrically and is not referenced to a specific level in a rock section on Earth. Fossils from Australia show that stromatolites have grown on Earth since the Mesoarchean. The Pongola glaciation occurred around .

Wave base diagram. Lower Shoreface refers to the portion of the seafloor, and the sedimentary depositional environment, that lies below the everyday wave base. It is also used for the sandstone sedimentary structure rock formations that were produced by this process in an earlier geologic era, such as the Cretaceous Period.

The Franklin Marble is a geologic deposit located in the Highlands region of New Jersey. The Franklin Marble dates back to the Precambrian geologic era. An early marine environment provided the proper conditions for algae and stromatolites to thrive. The resulting calcium and carbon deposits, as well as other chemical processes, provided the limestone and dolomite that would later be metamorphosed into Franklin Marble.

Adalatherium (meaning "crazy beast") is an extinct gondwanatherian that lived on Madagascar during the Cretaceous period, during the Maastrichtian. The discovery of the first nearly-complete Adalatherium skeleton from the Maevarano Formation was announced in April 2020. Adalatherium hui was unusually large for a mammal given the geologic era, at 60 cm (2 ft) long. Its skeleton is the most complete of any Southern Hemisphere Mesozoic mammal.

It was formed by the Punchbowl Fault, which is near the San Andreas Fault to the north. The uplifted formation preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period of the Cenozoic geologic era, formed during the lower Pliocene to upper Miocene Ages (~5-10 million years ago).L.A. County: "Geological History", with images. The Devil's Punchbowl drainage flows into Sandrock Creek, a tributary of Big Rock Creek, which disappears into the Mojave Desert.

Picea critchfieldii is a species of spruce tree formerly present on the landscape of North America where it was once widely distributed throughout the southeastern United States. Plant macrofossil evidence reveals that this tree became extinct during the Late Quaternary period of Earth's history. At present, this is the only documented plant extinction from this geologic era. Hypotheses as to what specifically drove the extinction remain unresolved, but rapid and widespread climatic changes coincided with Picea critchfieldii's decline and ultimate extinction.

The location of Jatim Park 3 is in Beji, District Junrejo. Jatim Park 3 carries the concept of a playground as well as education about ancient animals including dinosaurs. Visitors will be shown life from the dinosaurs and geologic period, from the beginning of civilization until the time after the extinction of the dinosaurs. The geologic era park is Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Ice Age epochs which became the age of dinosaur extinction because temperatures at this time were so extreme and frozen.

A stromatolite formed by Paleoarchean miocrobial mats, preserved as a fossil, from Pilbara craton, Western Australia The Paleoarchean (), also spelled Palaeoarchaean (formerly known as early Archean), is a geologic era within the Archaean eon. It spans the period of time --the era is defined chronometrically and is not referenced to a specific level of a rock section on Earth. The name derives from Greek "Palaios" ancient. The oldest ascertained life form of fossilized bacteria in microbial mats, old, found in the Dresser Formation in Western Australia, is from this era.

It was also during this geologic era that an ocean shift took place, causing the present-day location of the mountains to be part of the ocean for a time. It is possible that the then-peak formations were only small islands, barely rising above the level of the ocean. This accounts for the presence of limestone (a sedimentary rock formed predominately from calcite derived from marine organisms) found in the rims of Guadaramma mountain peaks and in some of their interior caves. Limestone formations are evident at a number of the peaks, notably El Vellón, La Pinilla and Patones.

A geologic era is a subdivision of geologic time that divides an eon into smaller units of time. The Phanerozoic Eon is divided into three such time frames: the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic (meaning "old life", "middle life" and "recent life") that represent the major stages in the macroscopic fossil record. These eras are separated by catastrophic extinction boundaries: the P-T boundary between the Paleozoic and the Mesozoic, and the K-Pg boundary between the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic. There is evidence that catastrophic meteorite impacts played a role in demarcating the differences between the eras.
