Ethiopia's geological history can be divided into eras, including the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras.

Major geologic process in Ethiopia during this era was denudation followed by peneplanation.
No significant structural formation took place during this era.
The Paleozoic era left a gap in rock formation in Ethiopia.
Denudational activity resulted in the formation of inselbergs (residual features) in some parts of Ethiopia.
Invertebrates were the dominant life form during this era.

Paleozoic and Mesozoic formations are found in:
- Central and northern Tigray
- Mettekel, Assossa, Illubabor, and the Abbay Gorge
- Central Sidama, southern Omo, southern Bale, and Borena
- Central, western, and northern Eritrea

This era was marked by alternate slow sinking and uplifting of the landmass (Epeirogenesis) of the Horn of Africa.
The dominant life form during this era was reptiles.
