Eocene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eocene epoch , lasting from 55.8 ± 0.2 to 33.9 ± 0.1 Ma (million years ago), is a major division of the geologic timescale and the second epoch of the Palaeogene period in the Cenozoic era. The ...

Insect damage on fossil leaves found in southwestern Wyoming, from the late Paleocene-early Eocene global warming interval, demonstrates this prediction. Early Eocene plants had more types of insect damage per host species and higher attack frequencies than late Paleocene plants.

Many groups of "modern" animals made their first appearance in the eocene. These include the first members of the orders of elephants, bats, whales, even-toed hooved animals (artiodactyls) and the odd-toed perissodactyls.

The Eocene epoch is part of the Tertiary Period in the Cenozoic Era, and lasted from about 54.8 to 33.7 million years ago (mya). The oldest known fossils of most of the modern orders of mammals appear in a brief period during the Early Eocene and all were small, under 10 kg. Both groups of modern ungulates...
