Pliocene

The species in the Pliocene had lynx like dental features and was called issiodorensis, but the skeleton looked more of the genus felis. (Werdelin,1981) The species then would have moved to the northern hemisphere and given offspring to many species. The species included the

years ago. It was made up of 5 different epochs.” “Paleocene epoch that was 65 to 54 million years ago.” “ Eocene epoch that was 54 to 38 million years ago.” “ Oligocene epoch 38 to 24 million years ago.” “ Miocene epoch 24 to 5 million years ago.” “Pliocene epoch 5 to 1.8 million years ago.” Tertiary is the third era. “During the Tertiary period placement of the continents were different than were they are located today.” “There were only the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean.” “

a supercontinent called Pangea had been breaking apart for over 100 million years. So, and the shape of the continents and oceans were starting to change again,. For example, North and South America joined at Panama. This was in the time of the Pliocene period, so the weather was very warm. There was a dramatic evolution in the environment too because animals started to appear again such as, insects, birds, corals, deep-sea organisms, marine plankton, clams, snails, and many other groups occurred

The world issue of climate change can easily be misunderstood, as criticists of this issue consider the horrific natural events that occur around the world, to be natural. These such evets include, volcanic activity, tornadoes, hurricanes and even drastic sea levels rising. In the novel, This Changes Everything, Klein explains that yes, the warmth of the planet does naturally increase over time as the cycle around the sun gets closer and closer, and because of natural radioactive decay. Climate

over 110 specimens and represent about 35 individual members of this species. Most of the remains are dental, but some skull and limb bones were also found.” “Ardipithecus is a genus of an extinct hominine that lived during Late Miocene and Early Pliocene in Afar Depression, Ethiopia. Originally described as one of the earliest ancestors of humans after they diverged from the main ape lineage, the relation of this genus to human ancestors and whether it is a hominin is now a matter of debate.” (Ardipithecus

The sedimentary record is the best archive of basin-forming tectonics and structural processes, particularly in regions with complex tectonic history such as the Eastern Cordillera in the Northern Andes of Colombia. Multiple tectonic episodes have driven fault reactivation and sedimentation in the Cenozoic is related to contractional strain. Sedimentary basins within the Eastern Cordillera contain coarse and fine grained units. The presence of coarse grained units in the distal regions of a foreland

The Out of Africa or African Replacement Hypothesis is a well-supported theory that argues that every living human being is dismount from a small group in Africa, who then distribute into the wider world displacing earlier forms such as Neanderthal and Denisovans. Another name for it is The African Replacement Hypothesis. The Out-of-Africa theory was supported in the early 1990s by research on mitochondrial DNA studies. The fossils of early humans who lived between 2 and 6 million years ago come

1. Examine your chosen unique landform. 1.a The Three Sisters is a unique landform with an Aboriginal relationship to the land. These three large rocks stand tall over the Jamison Valley near New South Wales, Katoomba, with the largest at (922m). The Three Sisters were formed by land erosion, which has slowly eroded over time from natural weather like rain, wind and rivers. The Three Sisters is believed to be disintegrated in the future due to erosion and wet surroundings. The native plants of

2.3 The Source Studies in Bombay High pointed out that the sediments of Upper Oligocene and Miocene period in that area have a poor potential of source rock. Hence, it is a fact that accumulations of oil in the Bombay High basin might not come from this marginal source rock potential. The sedimentary rocks originated in the middle Eocene, have a rich source rock potential. Although these shales are missing from the Bombay High, they take place in the east of the Bassein (part of Bombay High) and

These acts of interspecies relations were observed in Minoh, Osaka—a city in central Japan. As uncommony documented as interspecies relations can be, they are a known phenomenon, and it’s been observed as early as the Holocene epoch or even the Pliocene epoch by way of the extinct mammoth. Scientists at Lethbridge are referring to this as a behavioral trend, something
