    Geological eras are subdivided into periods.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Eon: The largest division of geological time.

    * Era: A subdivision of an eon.

    * Period: A subdivision of an era.

    * Epoch: A subdivision of a period.

    * Age: A subdivision of an epoch.

    So, the order from largest to smallest is:

    1. Eon

    2. Era

    3. Period

    4. Epoch

    5. Age
