In the Palaeogene Period, Britain had a very warm climate, but it gradually cooled as Britain drifted northwards. By the Quaternary, glaciers covered the middle and north of Britain, shaping the landscape we see today. The first humans occupied Britain during the Quaternary.
Cretaceous
In the Early Cretaceous, Britain experienced a warm climate with lagoonal, lake and fluvial environments. Rocks of this age contain dinosaur remains. Higher sea levels led to chalk deposition in the Late Cretaceous. Many groups of animals became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, including ammonites and dinosaurs.
Jurassic
In the Jurassic Period, parts of Britain were covered by shallow tropical seas in which mudstones, limestones and sandstones were deposited. The abundant life in the Jurassic included ammonites and dinosaurs.
Triassic
During the Triassic Period, a hot and dry environment led to the deposition of sandstones, salts and mudstones in deserts, rivers and shallow lakes. Reptiles were common and the first dinosaurs evolved.
Permian
During the Permian Period, Britain lay on the supercontinent of Pangaea and experienced hot, dry conditions. Sandstones formed from desert sand dunes. Limestones and salts were deposited in a nearby inland sea (the Zechstein Sea). Many groups of animals became extinct at the end of the Permian.
Carboniferous
In the early Carboniferous Period, Britain lay near the equator. Limestones containing corals, brachiopods and trilobites were deposited in shallow seas. Later, sandstones, mudstones and coals were deposited in coastal swamps dominated by forests of giant ferns and horsetails.
In the Devonian Period, Britain lay south of the equator and had a semi-arid climate. Marine limestones, sandstone and mudstones were developed in the south-west. Elsewhere sandstones were deposited by rivers on the coastal plain (sometimes known as the ‘Old Red Sandstone’). Fossils include fish and the first higher plants.
Silurian
In the Silurian Period, Britain lay south of the equator with a tropical to subtropical climate. A sea covered Britain that was shallower in the south (limestones) and deeper in the north (sandstones and mudstones). Silurian fossils include corals, brachiopods, trilobites and graptolites.
Ordovician
In the Ordovician Period, Britain lay south of the equator and had a cool climate. Seas covered Britain and there was dramatic volcanic activity as the ocean separating England and Wales from Scotland started to close.
Cambrian
In the Cambrian Period, England and Wales lay near the south pole and experienced a cold climate. They were separate from Scotland, which was joined to North America. A shallow sea covered much of the area and animals such as trilobites, graptolites and molluscs first appeared.
The Precambrian is the name given to the span of time prior to the Cambrian. The Precambrian period accounts for 88 per cent of geological time. There are very varied deposits from the Neoproterozoic, including volcanic sequences, sedimentary rocks formed in environments from deep water to terrestrial, plutonic igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks. ...
Several geological timescales exist, reflecting the use of differing datasets and methods of interpretation. The BGS Geological Timechart is based on The Geologic Time Scale 2012(Gradstein et el., 2012), with additions. The result is a composite geological timechart that will be updated as improved timescales become available.

Common Era ( CE) and Before the Common Era ( BCE) are year notations for the Gregorian calendar (and its predecessor, the Julian calendar ), the world's most widely used calendar era. Common Era and Before the Common Era are alternatives to the original Anno Domini (AD) and Before Christ (BC) notations used for the same calendar era.
This timeline of ancient history lists historical events of the documented ancient past from the beginning of recorded history until the Early Middle Ages. Prior to this time period, prehistory civilizations were pre-literate and did not have written language.
