The Taganamenisperiod, also known as the Taganamenis era, refers to a proposed or speculative geological time interval within the broader context of Earth's history. The term is not widely recognized in mainstream geology or stratigraphy, as it does not correspond to any officially defined period or epoch in the International Chronostratigraphic Chart. Instead, it appears in fringe or alternative theories, often linked to fringe interpretations of Earth's geological and historical timeline.

Some proponents of alternative historical models, such as certain proponents of the Young Earth creationist view or fringe geologists, have suggested that the Taganamenisperiod represents a hypothetical era preceding the commonly accepted geological timeline. These theories often propose that significant geological or historical events, such as the global Flood described in certain religious texts, could have drastically altered Earth's crust and stratigraphy. As a result, they argue that traditional geological periods may not accurately reflect Earth's true history.

The name "Taganamenisperiod" is not derived from any established scientific consensus and lacks formal geological evidence or peer-reviewed validation. It is sometimes associated with the work of individuals like Charles Hapgood, who proposed controversial theories about Earth's axial shifts and the rearrangement of continents over time. Critics argue that such theories lack empirical support and are inconsistent with the well-established principles of plate tectonics, radiometric dating, and stratigraphic analysis.

In mainstream geology, Earth's history is divided into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages, with clear boundaries defined by major geological events, such as mass extinctions or significant climatic changes. The Taganamenisperiod does not fit within this framework and remains an unrecognized concept outside of fringe circles. Scientists continue to rely on the established geological timescale, which is based on extensive research, fossil records, and radiometric dating techniques.
