The Miocene was from about 26 million to 5 million years ago. It is part of the Tertiary Period and the Cenozoic Era. The word Miocene comes from the Greek for "less than present." It is the age of the first hominids.
The Oligocene Epoch is in the Paleogene Period, coming before the Eocene Epoch.
(previously considered as the Tertiary Period, which overlapped the Neogene and Paleogene)
It was about 34 to 23 million years ago.
The Eocene was from about 54 million to 37.5 million years ago. It is part of the Tertiary Period and the Cenozoic Era. Eocene comes from the Greek words meaning "dawn of the present." It is the age of the first large land mammals.
The Pliocene was from about 5 million to 1.8 million years ago. It is the last epoch of the Tertiary Period in the Cenozoic Era.
The Oligocene was from about 37.5 million to 26 million years ago. It is part of the Tertiary Period and the Cenozoic Era.

The Cenozoic Era is currently divided into 3 Periods and 7 Epochs. There is even an argument at the moment for an 8th Epoch,The Cenozoic Eta (65.5 Ma - Now)Paleogene Period (65.5 - 23.03 Ma) Paleocene Epoch (65.5 - 55.8 Ma)(65 mya to 55 mya - Rise of Mammals)Eocene Epoch (55.8 - 33.9 Ma)(55 mya to 38 mya - Saber Tooth Cats, Primitive Horses)Oligpcene Epoch (33.9 - 23.03Ma)(38 mya to 25 mya - First Primates)Neogene Period (23.03 - 2.588 Ma)Miocene Epoch (23.03 - 5.332Ma)(25 mya to 5 mya - Apes)Pliocene Epoch (5.332 - 2.588Ma)(5 mya to 2 mya - First Man)Quaternary Period (2.588 Ma - now) Pleistocene Epoch (2,588 - 11.7 Ka)(2 mya to 10,000 years ago - The Rise of Man)Holocene Epoch (11.7 Ka - Now)(10,000 years ago to present - Modern Man)mya=million years ago
98 million years ago was in the Cretaceous period.
The Pleistocene Epoch, known as the last ice age, began 1.8 million-years ago and lasted until about 11,700-years ago. During this time, ice covered huge parts of the Earth. Homo sapiens evolved during the Pleistocene Epoch, and by the end of the era were found in all corners of the Earth.
It is assumed that water arrived on Earth from space, hundreds of millions of years ago.
Amber is a fossiled tree resin, which is millions of years old
The Eocene Epoch, lasted from 56 to 33.9 million years ago. There is no such thing as the "lower Eocene period"!
It is currently believed that the first Artiodactyls lived in the Early Eocene epoch 55 million years ago.
The period where whales first appeated is to be during the Eocene Epoch (56-34 Million Years Ago).
The Eohippus lived in the early Tertiary Period and the early to mid eocene Epoch, about 55-45 million years ago.Answers.com
An adapid is a member of the Adapidae family of animals, which comprises extinct primates from the Eocene epoch, around 55-34 million years ago.
Evidence suggests that saber-toothed tigers were present from the Eocene epoch to the end of the Pleistocene epoch. This spans their existence at over 42 million years before their extinction.
Mesozoic Era
No, they are now extinct, they existed worldwide from the Eocene epoch to the end of the Pleistocene epoch (42 million years ago to 11,000 years ago). They evolved to prey on large mammals such as Elephant and while an odd human may have been killed by one, humans were not their prey animal.
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.
No, a woolly mammoth was large land animals that lived during the Ice Ages and had large curved tusks and thick fur. The first whale developed in the Eocene epoch, which was 54 to 28 million years ago.
The Pleistocene is called the Ice Age because the beginning of that epoch was the start of the present Ice Age, about 2.58 million years ago.
The Holocene epoch.
