Cenozoic era
Each era on the scale is separated from the next by a major event or change. Different spans of time on the time scale are usually delimited by major geological or paleontological events, such as mass extinctions.
We know more about the Cenozoic era primarily due to its relatively recent timeframe, spanning the last 66 million years, which allows for more extensive fossil records and geological evidence compared to older eras. Additionally, the Cenozoic encompasses the rise of mammals and birds, leading to a rich array of fossils and well-studied ecosystems. Advances in technology, such as radiometric dating and improved paleontological methods, have also enhanced our understanding of this era. Furthermore, human activity and research efforts have focused significantly on environments and species from the Cenozoic, further enriching our knowledge.
The Principle of Paleontological Identity is the theory that the layers of sedimentary rocks around the world can be dated by the fossils which they contain. Based on this theory, two layers having the same fossils are regarded as having the same age. This principle is based on the existence of stratigraphic fossils. It is taken in theory to make it possible to correlate sedimentary sequences in distant areas from each other.
The North Dakota state paleontologist is Dr. John W. Hoganson. He works for the North Dakota Geological Survey and has been actively involved in paleontological research and education in the state.
