Phanerozoic
Phanerozoic Period of geologic time comprising the
Palaeozoic Mesozoic, and
Cenozoic Eras, It began approximately 570 Ma ago at the start of the
Cambrian Period and is marked by the accumulation of
sediments containing the remains of animals with mineralized skeletons. Although the name is derived from the Greek
phaneros meaning ‘visible’ and
zoion meaning ‘animal’, the term is no longer used in the sense of ‘visible life’, but merely defines the base of the Cambrian.
