The tertiary period covers the time from 65 million years ago (mya - about the time of the dinosaurs' extinction) to around 1.8 mya. Mammals became the dominant vertebrates and had many important developments, with the earliest hominid relatives of humans appearing early in this period; most modern types of animals either were already extant or also appeared early in this period; modern families of flowering plants evolved; and most marine vertebrates and invertebrates had little change.
