The Tertiary Period (including the Pliocene, Miocene, Oligocene, Eocene, and Paleocene Epochs) lasted from about 65 million years ago to 1.8 million years ago. It is part of the Cenozoic Era, along with the Quarternary Period.
The Miocene Epoch, 23.8 to 5.3 million years ago. = =
There were five epochs in the Tertiary: Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene.
The tertiary period took place in the CENOZOIC era.

Magnetic epochs last a long period of time, geologically. It is when the earth's magnetic field is the same polarity.
The Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic are all divided into periods and epochs.
The Neogene Period is not a part of the Quaternary Period. The Quaternary Period occurred right after the Neogene Period. The Neogene is divided into two, Miocene and the Pliocene epochs.
Pliocene
The last period of the Cenozoic era is the Neogene period, which was preceded by the Paleogene period.
Eons, Eras,Epochs, and period
Quaternary PeriodIt hasn't, yet. Geologic time was originally divided into four parts, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary, with the Quaternary being the current time of life. Eventually it was realized that the Primary and Secondary were much more distinctly different than the Tertiary and Quaternary, so the were re-named the Paleozoic (old life) and Mesozoic (middle life) eras, while the Tertiary and Quaternary were classified periods within the Cenozoic (recent life) era. The Tertiary contains the first five epochs, while the Quaternary contains the last two.Some consider the division between Tertiary and Quaternary to be obsolete, and prefer to divide the Cenozoic into the Palaeogene (first three epochs) and Neogene (latest four epochs).AnswerYou are currently living in the Qaternary period. Is has not ended.
All mammals present today are example of tertiary period mammals as we are living in tertiary period .
Eras divide into periods and periods divide into epochs. The Palaeozoic Era is composed of the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian periods (in that order). The Mesozoic Era is divided into the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The Cenozoic Era is divided into the Tertiary and Quaternary periods. The Tertiary period is divided into the Palaeocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene epochs while the Quaternary period is divided into the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. Note that eras are not the longest lengths of time. Eras may compose longer stretches of time known as eons/aeons.
Magnetic epochs last a long period of time, geologically. It is when the earth's magnetic field is the same polarity.
epochs
The geological time scale is the history of the earth. This is in the eras period and epochs.
The Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic are all divided into periods and epochs.
The human have only been here for one period which is Neogene period in Cenozoic era.Neogene period is divided into 4 epochs.The genus Homo has been traced for following 3 epochs: Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene epochs.
The "tertiary period" is not a place you can go to. It is a time period - in the remote past of Earth. Since it is in the past, you can't go there.
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).
Humans first appeared during the Quanternary Period which includes the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs.
