Eozän

erdgeschichtliche Serie innerhalb des Paläogens

AI overview

The Eocene is a period in Earth's history that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago, making it the second major time division of the Paleogene Period. This epoch is significant because it represents a key chapter in the Cenozoic Era, the long stretch of geological time that followed the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Das Eozän ist in der Erdgeschichte eine chronostratigraphische Serie (= Zeitintervall) innerhalb des Paläogens. Das Eozän begann vor etwa 56 Millionen Jahren und endete vor etwa 33,9 Millionen Jahren und ist die zweite Serie des Paläogens (siehe Geologische Zeitskala). Dem Eozän folgte das Oligozän und ging das Paläozän voraus.
