The Eocene occurred during the Terciaty period. To determine the era the Eocene period belongs to, a scientist should study information related to the Cenozoic era. Option B).

What is the Cenozoic?

The Cenozoic is an era that covers the period from 65 million years ago to the present.

Significant events during the period,

  • During this era, there is a decrease in temperature (which until that moment was significantly higher than the current temperatures) and begins an aridity process.

  • Since most cretaceous plant species got extinct, there is significant radiation of angiosperm and their consequent domain on the ground.

  • Following this diversification, different insects evolve following the different types of plants. Coevolution and pollination acquire protagonism.

  • During this period, mammals radiated too, originating in the current region of China.

  • Occurs the evolutive radiation of teleosts and birds.

The Cenozoic era includes the tertiary and quaternary periods.

⇒ Tertiary

  • Paleocene (65-55 my ago)
  • Eocene (55-33 my ago)
  • Oligocene (32-23 my ago)
  • Miocene (23-5 my ago)
  • Pliocene (5-2 my ago)

⇒ Quaternary

  • Pleistocene (2-0.02 my ago)
  • Holocene (0.02 - 0 my ago)

Since the Eocene occurred during the Terciaty period (Cenozoic era),  to determine what era the Eocene period belongs to on the geologic time scale, a scientist should study information related to the Cenozoic era. Option B).
