Paleogene

Also known as Palaeogene, Palæogene, Lower Tertiary, Paleogene Period, Paleogene System, Early Tertiary

primo periodo geologico del Cenozoico

AI overview

The Paleogene Period is a 43-million-year span of geological time that began after the extinction of the dinosaurs and is divided into three shorter epochs: the Paleocene, Eocene, and Oligocene. It matters because it represents the earliest part of the Cenozoic Era, when mammals began to diversify and dominate Earth's ecosystems following the end of the Cretaceous Period.

Nella scala dei tempi geologici, il Paleogene o Nummulitico è il primo dei tre periodi in cui è suddiviso il Cenozoico, l'ultima era del Fanerozoico, ed è compreso tra 65,5 ± 0,3 e circa 23,03 milioni di anni fa (Ma). È preceduto dal Cretaceo e seguito dal Neogene. Ebbe una durata di circa 43 milioni di anni e fu caratterizzato dalla grande evoluzione dei mammiferi che, a partire dalle piccole e poco importanti specie del Cretacico, si svilupparono in modo notevole. Si divide in Paleocene, Eocene e Oligocene.
