You live in the Martinez SuperEon

This week I learned that the Geologic Time Scale lacks a name for the current SuperEon. In discussing the proposed Anthropocene Epoch, which would turn the Geologic Time Scale on its side, I suggested that we name the current SuperEon for me. Why? Apparently because no one has noticed that we have neglected to name the current SuperEon.

And there are only two of these suckers, so you have to wonder what the boys down at the lab were drinking when they came up with all the bizarre names that are used in the Geologic Time Scale.

The last SuperEon (which ended around 452 million years ago) was the Pre-Cambrian SuperEon. The Cambrian was a period, not an Eon or SuperEon. Go figure.

I am pleased to see that I already have garnered some support for the Martinez SuperEon. I hope I can count on your vote, too.
