The epoch spans the time between 65 million and 56 million years ago?
This epoch is known as the Paleogene epoch, which follows the Cretaceous period and precedes the Neogene period. During this time, significant geological and climatic changes occurred, including the extinction of dinosaurs and the rise of mammals.

What is a Paleogene?
The Paleogene was a geologic time period, the first of two periods of the Cenozoic era. It began 65.5 million years ago following the end of the Cretaceous Period, the last period of the Mesozoic Era. It ended 23 million years ago and was followed by the Neogene, the current period. During this time, Earth recovered from the mass exinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs and mammals became the dominant land animals. India collided with mainland Asia, forming the Himalayas, and ice sheets began to form in Antarctica.
What is the name for the modern era which began approximtely 65 million years ago with the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
