WORKSHOP GROUP SIX

Third period of the Tertiary Age. It extended for 14 million years (38 - 24 million years). Its name means "small life" Beginning of the formation of the mountain range of the Alps and the Apennines.  Mammals dominated life on Earth. The camels are extinguished in America. Migrations of Oreodontes  in this period the freezing of the earth begins klsdji

  The quaternary period began 2.6 million years ago and extends into the present. The quaternary is the current and most recent of the three periods of the Cenozoic Era in the geologic time scale of the International Commission on Stratigraphy. This period is divided into two epochs: the  Pleistocene  (2.588 million years ago to 11.7 thousand years ago) and the  Holocene  (11.7 thousand years ago to today). The informal term "Late Quaternary" refers to the past 0.5–1.0 million years.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary THE PLEISTOCENE: Often colloquially referred to as the Ice Age, is the geological epoch which lasted frim about 2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago, spanning the world´s most recent period of repeated glaciations. The end of the Pleistocene corresponds with the end of the last glacial period and also with the end of the Paleolithic age used in archaeology. The Pleistocene  is divided into four stage ora ges, the Gelasian, Calambrian, Ionian and Tarantian.
