The Cenozoic Era. This began 65.5 million years ago.
The Cenozoic Era
Age of mammals
The Age of Mammals is the other name for the Cenozoic Era. The Cenozoic Era lasted for 65 million years.
It is Silurian in age.
It measures the age of a fossil.:)
To have a scientist make a geologic map, they need to know something about geologic formation to show what the map is meaning. They use color to show the differences of the kind of rock and its age.

Geologic maps use color to represent various types of geologic features or units (a particular type of rock with a known age range).
Mammals proliferated during the Cenozoic (recent age--since the end of the Cretaceous 65 million years ago). There were mammals before the Cenozoic, but dinosaurs were the most abundant fauna of that era. Reptiles, birds, fish, and turtles continue to exist. There are over 8000 species of birds, but fewer than 6000 species of mammals.
The Age of Mammals is the other name for the Cenozoic Era. The Cenozoic Era lasted for 65 million years.
Relative age refers to the age of an object or event in comparison to another, using principles such as superposition and cross-cutting relationships. Absolute age, on the other hand, refers to the specific age of an object or event in years, usually determined through radiometric dating methods.
The Cenozoic is known as the Age of Mammals.
Geologic maps use color to represent various types of geologic features or units (a particular type of rock with a known age range).
Geologists generally know the age of a rock by determining the age of the group of rocks, or formation, that it is found in. The age of formations is marked on a geologic calendar known as the geologic time scale. Development of the geologic time scale and dating of formations and rocks relies upon two fundamentally different ways of telling time: relative and absolute.
Geologic column is an ordered arrangement of rock layers that is based on the relative age of the rocks. Geologic time is the time IN the geologic column.
This era, the Cenozoic era, is the age of mammals. But among botanists and paleobotanists, it is known as the age of flowers -- the anthophyta.The extinction of the dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era allowed mammals to proliferate and diversify.
Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail was created in 2009.
