Telychian
Sign in to saveAlso known as Telychian Stage, Telychian Age
In the geologic timescale, the Telychian is the third and final age of the Llandovery Epoch of the Silurian Period of the Paleozoic Era of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Telychian Age was between 438.6 ± 1.0 million years ago (Ma) and 432.9 ± 1.2 Ma. The Telychian Age succeeds the Aeronian Age and precedes the Sheinwoodian Age. The name of the interval is derived from the Pen-lan-Telych Farm near Llandovery, Powys, Wales.

It ended with the Ireviken event.
