AI overview
The Miocene is a geological epoch that occurred roughly 23 to 5 million years ago and represents the earliest period of the Neogene, with its name deriving from the Greek words meaning "less recent" because it contains fewer modern marine invertebrates than the later Pliocene epoch. Understanding the Miocene matters because it helps scientists track how life on Earth evolved over time and how marine ecosystems changed between the older Oligocene and the newer Pliocene periods.

Das Miozän ist in der Erdgeschichte eine chronostratigraphische Serie des Neogens, vor der Systemaufteilung Teil des Tertiärs. Es begann vor etwa 23,03 Millionen Jahren und endete vor etwa 5,333 Millionen Jahren. Vor dem Miozän liegt die Serie des Oligozäns, des jüngsten Abschnitts des Paläogens. Nach dem Miozän folgt die Serie des Pliozäns.
