The Cenozoic is known as the Age of Mammals.
We are in the Cenozoic Era which began after the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other life forms.
We are in the Cenozoic Era which began after the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other life forms.
The Cenozoic era did not see the occurrence of the emergence of complex multicellular life forms, the formation of the Himalayan mountains, or the development of flowering plants.
The Cenozoic Era has the greatest variety and quantity of mammalian life.
This word is from Latin meaning "middle life" because this was the second era out of the three in the eon of animal life on Earth. It is also called the "age of the dinosaurs."
Cenozoic era
Yes.
We currently live in the Phanerozoic eon, which began around 541 million years ago and is characterized by the presence of abundant fossil records and the development of complex life forms. This eon is divided into three eras: the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. The current era is the Cenozoic, which has seen significant mammalian and avian evolution since the extinction of the dinosaurs.
The Cenozoic started 65.5 million years ago, and it continues through the present day. The Cenozoic is when flowering plants and mammals diversified and came to dominate terrestrial flora and fauna, respectively. Mammals started out small, but evolved into all the forms that exist today, from elephants to lions to kangaroos to bats to sea lions.
The geological era that is divided into both periods and epochs is the Cenozoic Era. The Cenozoic, which began about 66 million years ago and continues to the present, is subdivided into three periods: the Paleogene, Neogene, and Quaternary. Each of these periods is further divided into epochs that reflect significant changes in Earth's climate, geography, and life forms.
During the Precambrian era, single-celled life forms such as bacteria and archaea dominated. In the Paleozoic era, multicellular life forms including invertebrates like trilobites and early fish emerged. The Mesozoic era saw the rise of dinosaurs and the first birds and mammals. Finally, during the Cenozoic era, modern mammals, birds, and flowering plants became abundant.
