Several periods of mass extinction
The formation of the ozone layer
Some ancient events that did not occur during the Cenozoic era include the extinction of dinosaurs (Cretaceous-Paleogene transition), the construction of the Egyptian pyramids (Old Kingdom of Egypt), and the founding of the Roman Empire (27 BC).
Yes and, as we are still in the Cenozoic Era, it continues to this day.
Humans appeared during the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic era, which began around 2.6 million years ago. This era is marked by the development of modern human species and the emergence of Homo sapiens.
No, the most well-known Ice Age was in the Cenozoic Era, during the Pleistocene epoch.
The extinction of the dinosaurs did not occur during the Cenozoic era. Dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Mesozoic era, which preceded the Cenozoic era.
The colonization of land by plants did not occur during the Cenozoic era as it happened earlier during the Paleozoic era.
The formation of the ozone layer
The Cenozoic era did not see the occurrence of the emergence of complex multicellular life forms, the formation of the Himalayan mountains, or the development of flowering plants.

No, dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic era, which occurred before the Cenozoic era. Dinosaurs were a diverse group of reptiles that ruled the Earth during the Mesozoic era, but they went extinct before the Cenozoic era began.
No, the most well-known Ice Age was in the Cenozoic Era, during the Pleistocene epoch.
Mammals became the dominant land animals in the early Paleocene period of the Cenozoic era, after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era.
