Mammoths lived from about 5 million years ago until about 3,700 years ago.* That falls into the geologic time periods of the Neogene (which was from about 23 to 2.5 million years ago) and the Quaternary (which was from 2.5 million years ago and continues today).
The epochs that the mammoths lived in are the Pliocene (which was from about 5.3 to 2.5 million years ago), the Pleistocene (which was from about 2.5 million to 12,000 years ago), and the Holocene (from 12,000 years ago through the present day).
*Most mammoths died out about 10,000 years ago. However, a few dwarf subspecies survived beyond that, the longest lasting one being dwarf woolly mammoths on Wrangel Island. These survived until approximately 1700 BC.
