Template talk:Phanerozoic eon
Appearance
Presently, the template stands thus:
542 Ma - Phanerozoic eon - Present | ||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Preceded by Proterozoic eon | 542 Ma - Paleozoic era - 251 Ma | 251 Ma - Mesozoic era - 65 Ma | 65 Ma - Cenozoic era - Present | |||||||||
Cambrian | Ordovician | Silurian | Devonian | Carboniferous | Permian | Triassic | Jurassic | Cretaceous | Paleogene | Neogene | Quaternary |
But wouldn't it be better (more logical) as follows?
Preceded by Proterozoic eon | 542 Ma - Phanerozoic eon - Present | |||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
542 Ma - Paleozoic era - 251 Ma | 251 Ma - Mesozoic era - 65 Ma | 65 Ma - Cenozoic era - Present | ||||||||||
Cambrian | Ordovician | Silurian | Devonian | Carboniferous | Permian | Triassic | Jurassic | Cretaceous | Paleogene | Neogene | Quaternary |
So you won't think the Proterozoic precedes the Cambrian but is still somehow part of the Phanerozoic. --Gro-Tsen (talk) 20:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- So, does anyone object to my making this change? --Gro-Tsen (talk) 00:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- Good suggestion. Go right ahead. »S0CO(talk|contribs) 17:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Would this be better? This is like the Proterozoic eon, the Archean eon & the Hadean eon are just in one period in an eon. & the whole of the Tectonic plate movements is the Phanerozoic eon! Talker26 (talk•contribs) 02:47, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- Uh, this makes the Precambrian appear as part of the Phanerozoic eon, which it is not. The Precambrian refers to anything before the Phanerozoic. Am I confused, or are you? --Gro-Tsen (talk) 00:04, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
