Did the K-T extinction occur before or during the Tertiary period?
The Tertiary Period (65.5 to 2.588Ma) is the informal name for the geological period that followed the K-T extinction event. So the K-T event happened before the Tertiary. In fact "K-T" is actually short for Cretaceous-Tertiary as it marked the end of the Cretaceous and the start of the Tertiary.The lower tertiary is more formally known as the Paleogene Period(65.5 - 23.03 Ma) and the upper Tertiary is more formally known as the Neogene Period(23.03 - 2.588Ma).
