Talk:Epoch (geology)

[Untitled]

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)

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)

Possible inclusion of information relating to the anthropocene

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)

Chart needed

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

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

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)
