Steniano
Sign in to saveAlso known as Stenian Period, Stenian System
The Stenian Period ( , from , meaning "narrow") is the final geologic period in the Mesoproterozoic Era and lasted from Mya to Mya (million years ago). Instead of being based on stratigraphy, these dates are defined chronometrically due to the scarcity of Precambrian fossils and lack of reliable zonation. It is preceded by the Ectasian Period and followed by the Neoproterozoic era and the Tonian period.

Lo Steniano (dal Greco Stenos, "stretto") è il terzo e ultimo periodo dell'era Mesoproterozoica, e si estende da 1200 milioni a 1000 milioni di anni fa. Anziché essere basate sulla stratigrafia, queste date sono definite cronologicamente.
