Phanerozoic (geologic time scale, <styles, periods, and cultures by general era>, Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The Phanerozoic is the current eon in the geologic time scale. It extends from approximately 542 million years ago until the present and is marked by the rapid expansion and evolution of life forms allowed by the development of plants carrying out photosynthesis, thus releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. It contains the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. |

Dutch ..... Het fanerozoïcum is het huidige eon op de geologische tijdschaal. Het duurt van ongeveer 542 miljoen jaar geleden tot het heden, en wordt gekenmerkt door de snelle uitbreiding en evolutie van levensvormen die mogelijk werd gemaakt door de ontwikkeling van fotosynthetische planten die zuurstof de atmosfeer in pompen. Het wordt onderverdeeld in de era's van het paleozoïcum, mesozoïcum en cenozoïcum. |
