An event that happened would be the ending of the Ice age and the beginning of mammals and plants, or even the formations of the major landforms we have today. Such as the beginning of the Alps, or the Himalayas. The pollen and fruit count even increased through the Cenozoic Era.

What is the era before the Mesozoic Era?

The Paleozoic era was from 540 million years ago to about 245 million years ago. After that came the Mesozoic era, and that lasted from the end of the Paleozoic to 65 million years ago, when the earth entered the Cenozoic era.


Abundant fossil evidence did not appear in the geologic record until what geologic era?

Abundant and diverse fossils first appeared in the Cambrian era, although there is fossil evidence throughout much of the Precambrian.


Do humans evolved in the Eocene period?

No. The dinosaurs rose in the Mesozoic era. The end of the Mesozoic era was also the end of the dinosaurs. The era following is the Cenozoic, which we are still in today.


What are the major subdivisions of geologic times?

The major subdivisions are the Precambrian, Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, which are subdivided into Archean and Proterozoic (Precambrian), Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous (or Missisipian and Pennsylvanian in the US) and Permian (Palaeozoic), Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous (Mesozoic) and Tertiary and Quaternary (Cenozoic).
