In theCenozoic era(65 Ma to the present) there is thought to have been three periods when the climate was warmer than present and pre-industrial CO2values were higher (Masson-Delmotte et al, 2013): • The Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (∼55Ma). Massive carbon release caused acidificati...
There are certain subperiods within the Cenozoic era. These subperiods give a more detailed breakdown of how evolution events occurred in this era. It can also point to the species of animals that went extinct in this era. The epochs within the Cenozoic periods are: The Paleogene period This...

Palaeozoic and pre-Cambrian) are less understood. In this Review, we explore how cyclostratigraphy can help to distinguish climate modes over the pre-Cenozoic era and aid our understanding of climate responses to
perhaps closer to 50% than the figure 70–90% sometimes given3. This may reflect the breaching of the biogeographical barriers created by the ACC and the Polar Front (PF)25during past interglacials and warm periods17, a process that has added further complexity to the community structure of...
the era has been traditionally divided into theTertiaryand Quaternary periods. ThedesignationsTertiary and Quaternary, however, are relics of early attempts in the late 18th century at formulating a stratigraphic classification that included the now wholly obsolete terms Primary and Secondary. In 1856 ...
This displacement has been determined through the analysis of geomorphological surfaces dating back to the Pliocene–Lower Pleistocene periods [1,2,23]. Moreover, 1000 m of horizontal displacement was measured in Lower Pleistocene terraces in the Douro River, obtaining a slip-rate of 0.2–0.5 mm/...
The term Cenozoic, first spelled "Kainozoic," was originally used in an 1840 entry in the Penny Cyclopedia encyclopedia in an article written by British geologist John Phillips. The name is derived from the Greek phrase meaning “recent life.” The Cenozoic era is divided into three periods: ...
, in Dominance and Aggression in Humans and Other Animals, 2017 Apes Within this assemblage, apes diverged from a common ancestor with Old World monkeys about 20 million years ago (within the Cenozoic era) (Groves, 2005) (Figs. 5.1 and 5.4). Humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, one or two ...
During Oligocene and later periods of the Cenozoic, it appears that the present Mexican Gulf Coastal Plain consisted of a number of embayments that extended off a great sedimentary basin. The deepest part of this basin was in the present Gulf of Mexico, similar to the conditions existing today...
