The following five timelines show the geologic time scale to scale. The first shows the entire time from the formation of the Earth to the present, but this gives little space for the most recent eon. The second timeline shows an expanded view of the most recent eon.

This clickable timeline template, wikilinked to over 30 Wikipedia articles, translated into over 30 languages, edited by over 110 editors, transcluded to over 100 articles, was originally derived from {{Life timeline}} for inclusion in the article "Timeline of the evolutionary history of life". It is not an article!
The geologic time scale, proportionally represented as a log-spiral with some major events in Earth's history. A megaannus (Ma) represents one million (10 6) years.. The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.
|left= optional - Sets the left padding of the timeline (in em) |labels= optional - Sets geological time labels to be displayed (era, period, epoch, age) Period options: cenozoic not functional - displays entire Cenozoic timescale; quaternary not functional - displays Quaternary timescale; neogene not functional - displays Neogene timescale
The ages of more recent layers are calculated primarily by the study of fossils, which are remains of ancient life preserved in the rock. These occur consistently and so a theory is feasible. Most of the boundaries in recent geologic time coincide with extinctions (e.g., the dinosaurs) and with the appearances of new species (e.g., hominids).
