The Neogene ( ) is a geologic period and system that spans 20.45 million years from the end of the Paleogene Period Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the present Quaternary Period Ma. It is the second period of the Cenozoic and the eleventh period of the Phanerozoic. The Neogene is sub-divided into two epochs, the earlier Miocene and the later Pliocene. Some geologists assert that the Neogene cannot be clearly delineated from the modern geological period, the Quaternary. The term "Neogene" was coined in 1853 by the Austrian palaeontologist Moritz Hörnes (1815–1868). The earlier term T
The Neogene is a geological period spanning roughly 20 million years that falls between the Paleogene Period and today's Quaternary Period, divided into two main epochs called the Miocene and Pliocene. It matters because studying this relatively recent chapter of Earth's history helps us understand how modern landscapes, climates, and life forms developed, though some geologists debate where its boundaries clearly end and the present day begins.
