- Archeozoic, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic.
-
What is the most ancient and recent eras?
The most ancient is the Archeozoic era and the most recent is the Cenozoic era.
-

-
The Cambrian Period

Paleontology is the study of fossils which reveals that most fossils were found in layers of sedimentary rocks.
-
Cenozoic Era
Is the only era which is defined by an epoch. Which are the smallet durations of geologic times.
-
Levels of Organization
The levels of orgainization are Organelles, Cells, Tissues, Organs and Systems.
-
How can we relate geolgic time to levels of organization?
Because levels of organizations describe the development or evolution of all invertebrate organisms. Some are only cells without tissues. Others with cells and tissues but no organs, still there are others with cells, tissues and organs and no systems. All higher invertebrates have fully developed organ systmes.
