Talk:Epoch (geology)

[Untitled][edit]

An Epoch is tens of millions of years(If you're talking about time).We are living in the Holonce (sorry if I spelled it wrong)Epoch. -Joseph Kim --207.237.10.60 (talk) 18:30, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is not: it is "a division of a geological period of time in which a geological series is formed." As such an epoch can be less than tens of millions, or more than tens of millions.--Mr Fink (talk) 04:40, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possible inclusion of information relating to the anthropocene[edit]

Might be prudent to include information relating to the debate over the adoption of the anthropocene as current epoch pending International Commission on Stratigraphy findings.--Macberns (talk) 21:42, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chart needed[edit]

Epochs should be represented via a chart, with information like start and end dates.

Greek: επεχώνυμος < επέχω + όνομα | the one who names a period[edit]

epochonymy < epoch + - onymy | the naming of the epochs
but in Greek is more correct with "ε"
επεχωνυμία < επεχώνυμος + -ία Triantaphyllides Dictionary of the Common Modern Greek (Language)* — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:4104:3B00:7D34:C50A:B735:10DE (talk) 13:57, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
