Miocene Epoch | Plants, Animals, Fossils | Britannica Miocene Epoch, earliest major worldwide division of the Neogene Period (23 million to 2 6 million years ago) that extended from 23 million to 5 3 million years ago, a time when land-dwelling mammals were essentially modern
Miocene - New World Encyclopedia Named by Sir Charles Lyell, "Miocene" comes from the Greek words μείων (meioon, less) and καινός (kainos, new) and means "less recent " It is "less recent" than the Pliocene and had 18 percent less modern sea invertebrates than the Pleiocene
Evolution: Change: Deep Time - PBS The Miocene begins with a gradual, short-lived warming, and some tropical forests expand Drying accompanies this temperature change, and tough scrub plants evolve as a new form of vegetation
Miocene - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics When considered on geologic timescales, Miocene paleogeography was quite similar to modern with the continental landmasses close to their modern positions However, the Miocene was a dynamic period resulting in mountain building, ocean gateway alteration and ice sheet consolidation
Miocene Ocean Gyre Circulation and Gateway Transports—MioMIP1 Ocean . . . The Miocene (∼23–5 million years ago) experienced major paleogeographic changes, such as shoaling of ocean gateways and shifts in topography and continental positions These changes likely influenced how water was exchanged between ocean basins Here, we use 14 atmosphere-ocean climate model simulations of the early and middle Miocene (∼12–20 million years ago) to investigate their
The Miocene Epoch - University of California Museum of Paleontology The Miocene was a time of warmer global climates than those in the preceeding Oligocene, or the following Pliocene It is particularly notable in that two major ecosystems first appeared at this time: kelp forests and grasslands
