geological period
A geological period is a unit of geological time during which a specific system of rocks formed. It's a division of time in the history of the Earth, longer than an epoch and shorter than an era, and usually characterized by significant changes in the living organisms and climate present on Earth. Periods are part of the geological time scale, which geologists and paleontologists use to describe and organize the history of life on Earth.
