epoch

Subdivision of a geological period in the geological time scale. Epochs are sometimes given their own names (such as the Palaeocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene epochs comprising the Tertiary period), or they are referred to as the late, early, or middle portions of a given period (as the Late Cretaceous or the Middle Triassic epoch).

Geological time is broken up into geochronological units of which epoch is just one level of division. The hierarchy of geochronological divisions is eon, era, period, epoch, age, and chron. Epochs are subdivisions of periods and ages are subdivisions of epochs. Rocks representing an epoch of geological time comprise a series.
