Dear babygirl310-ga
The University of California?s Berkeley web geological time machine
tells us that we are in the Phanerozoic Eon (543 million years to
present), the Cenozoic Era (65 million years to today), the Quaternary
Period (1.8 million years to today), and finally the Holocene Epoch
(10,000 years to today).

?The Holocene is the name given to the last ~10,000 years of the
Earth's history -- the time since the end of the last major glacial
epoch, or "ice age." Since then, there have been small-scale climate
shifts -- notably the "Little Ice Age" between about 1200 and 1700
A.D. -- but in general, the Holocene has been a relatively warm period
in between ice ages.?

And more on Wikipedia -
?The Holocene Epoch is a geologic period that extends from the present
back about 10,000 radiocarbon years.?

I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
