Miocene
What is the periods of Cenozoic era are subdivide into?
The Cenozoic era is subdivided into two periods: the Paleogene and the Neogene. The Paleogene includes the Paleocene, Eocene, and Oligocene epochs, while the Neogene includes the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.
How many millions of years ago did the eocene epoch start?
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.
What is a nickname for the mesozoic era?
"Age of the dinosaurs" is a common nickname for the Mesozoic Era because it was a period when dinosaurs dominated the Earth.
Did the K-T extinction occur before or during the Tertiary period?
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).
What was the second epoch of the Tertiary period of the Cenozoic Era.?

When was the Paleocene?
The Paleocene was from about 65 million to 54 million years ago. It is part of the Tertiary Period and the Cenozoic Era.
What geological period does oil come from?
It mainly comes from Mississippian period of the Paleozoic area and the tertiary period of the Cenozoic area.
What is the periods of Cenozoic era are subdivide into?
The Cenozoic era is subdivided into two periods: the Paleogene and the Neogene. The Paleogene includes the Paleocene, Eocene, and Oligocene epochs, while the Neogene includes the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.
How many epochs in the Tertiary period?
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.
What is the name of the subdivisions of a qeologic period?
Eon --> Era --> sub-Era --> Period We are currently in: * Phanerozoic Eon * Cenozoic Era * Tertiary sub-Era * Quaternary Period
What is the Cenozoic time range?
No. The Cenzoic Era is the current era.
How many millions of years ago did the eocene epoch start?
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.
