The Quaternary Period occurred from 2,588,000 years ago until today, beginning when glaciation started.

What is meaning Tertiary Boundary?
A boundary is a borderline, a separation between two things or the edge of something. Tertiary means third. In this case the 'Tertiary Boundary' has a geological meaning. It is an horizon in the Earth's rock sequence that marks the end of the 'Tertiary Period' at the end of the 'Cretaceous' and the begiining of the 'Quaternary Period' - a point in time in Earth's history some 65.5 million years ago. It is also the time when the Dinosaurs became extinct.
What is the length in millions of years of the Tertiary period?
The answer is 63.2 million years. Since the Tertiary Period began 65 million years ago and then stoped 1.8 million years ago you have to subtract the 1.8 million from 65 million to get the actual lenght of time.
