During the Tertiary period, the Earth's continents were continuing to drift apart due to plate tectonics. This movement led to the modern configuration of continents that we see today. The Tertiary period also saw dramatic shifts in climate and the diversification of mammals.
All mammals present today are example of tertiary period mammals as we are living in tertiary period .
Information about the Tertiary Period may be found at websites that explain geological eras in the history of the Earth. Some such sites are the Science Channel, The Universe Today, and Science for Kids.
"The Age of Mammals" is the nickname for the Cenozoic Era, which was formerly known as the Tertiary Period. It is characterized by the dominance and diversification of mammals on Earth.
Earth's geography changed dramatically between the beginning and the end of the Tertiary. I could give you a long winded description, but I think you would prefer maps. Under "Related Links" there will be a map for the early Tertiary (called the Paleogene), and one for the later Tertiary (Neogene). P.S. The Tertiary began 65.5 million years ago and ended 2.6 million years ago.
