Is an Era shorter than an eon?
== In geology and paleontology, an eon is the largest division of time. Eons are then divided into eras, and eras are divided into periods. So yes, an era is shorter than an eon. More And then periods are divided into series or epochs
Eras are divided into periods which can be further divided into?
Eras divide into periods and periods divide into epochs. The Palaeozoic Era is composed of the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian periods (in that order).

The Tertiary period is divided into the Palaeocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene epochs while the Quaternary period is divided into the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs.
