Karen's Images by Geologic Age
Some of Karen's images are specific to a particular geologic age, like the Pleistocene. More commonly, her images are specific to an epoch—the Eocene, for example—or a geologic period, like the Tertiary. Finally, a few are identified only to the level of geologic eras, like the Cenozoic.
Here's a portion of Jeff Poling's excellent matrix of eras and ages from http://www.dinosauria.com. From it, you can see that a geologic age provides the most specific indication of time, while eras are the least specific:
|
