Eoceno

era geologica 55 milhões há 35 milhões de anos atrás

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.

Eoceno é a segunda época da era Cenozoica, está compreendida entre cerca de há 56 milhões de anos e cerca de há 34 milhões de anos. O Eoceno sucede o Paleoceno e precede o Oligoceno. O nome Eoceno vem do grego eos (ἠώς, "amanhecer") e kainos (καινός, "novo"). Divide-se nas idades Ypresiana, Lutetiana, Bartoniana e Priaboniana, da mais antiga para a mais recente.Foi durante este período que se formaram algumas das mais importantes cordilheiras de nosso planeta, tais como os Alpes e o Himalaia.
