A geological era lasting from approximately 25 to 5 million years ago.
The fourth of the five Geologic Epochs of the Tertiary Period. It extends from the end of the Oligocene Epoch (about 22.5 million years ago) to the beginning of the Pliocene Epoch (about 5 million years ago).
from 25 million to 13 million years ago; appearance of grazing mammals
An epoch of the early Tertiary Period, after the Oligocene and before the Pliocene; also, the corresponding worldwide series of rocks. It is considered to be a period when the Tertiary is designated as an era.
Fourth division of Tertiary period spanning a time interval from 26 to 12 million years ago.
The epoch between 24 and 5 million years ago, preceding the Pliocene.
It is a perion of the geological time which extends from 23.8 to 5.32 million years ago.
fourth epoch of the Tertiary period, which lasted 14 million years; from Greek meion 'less' + kainos 'recent'.
A epoch of the upper Tertiary period, spanning the time between 23.8 and 5.3 million years ago. It is named after the Greek words "meion" (less) and "ceno" (new).
An Epoch that includes the time interval of about 23.7 to 5.3 million years ago. more details...
Miocene - An epoch or subdivision of the early Tertiary Period.
The last stage in the Tertiary period
the time period between 23 and 5 million years ago;
Epoch of the Tertiary Period extending from 23.3 to 5.2 Ma;
The period of geologic time that began about 24 million years ago and ended approximately ten million years ago.
the fourth epoch of the Tertiary period of the Cenozoic, after the Ogliocene and before the Pliocene. During the Miocene, grasses developed and grazing mammals fluorished; rocks formed during that epoch. [AHDOS
The Miocene epoch is a period of time that extends from about 23.03 to 5.332 million years before the present. As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the start and end are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the period are uncertain. The Miocene was named by Sir Charles Lyell.
