The Mesozoic Era lasted about 180 million years and is divided into three periods, the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Each of these periods is divided into many epochs and ages. Mesozoic means “Middle Animal” and is sometimes called the age of reptiles.)

The Precambrian (coloured green on the right) is a supereon that is subdivided into three aeons (Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic) of the geologic time scale.)
