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.

Het Paleogeen is een tijdperk in de geologische tijdschaal dat duurde van 66 tot 23,03 miljoen jaar (Ma) geleden. Het is de oudste van drie perioden of het onderste van drie systemen waarin het Cenozoïcum is ingedeeld. Het komt na de jongste periode van het Mesozoïcum, het Krijt, en na het Paleogeen komt het Neogeen. Het Paleogeen zelf is weer onderverdeeld in drie tijdvakken: Paleoceen, Eoceen en Oligoceen.
