The Priabonian (also known as Jacksonian or Runangan) is the final stage of the Eocene Epoch. It spans the time between 37.2 ± 0.1 Ma and 33.9 ± 0.1 Ma (million years ago). Faunal stages are a subdivision of geologic time used primarily by paleontologists who study fossils rather than by geologists who study rock formations. ... The Eocene epoch (56-34 MYA) is a major division of the geologic timescale and the second epoch of the Palaeogene period in the Cenozoic era. ... The word epoch can mean either an interval of time, or a particular point in time used as a reference point. ... Mega-annum, usually abbreviated as Ma, is a unit of time equal to one million years. ...
