Neogeic meaning

 Neogeic:

• Definition: Neogeic is an adjective that refers to the geological era or epoch that is relatively recent in Earth's history, particularly the Cenozoic era, which started about 66 million years ago and continues to the present day.
• Explanation: This term is used in geology and paleontology to discuss formations, fossil records, and other geological phenomena that occurred during this time frame. The Cenozoic era is significant because it encompasses major evolutionary developments, including the rise of mammals and birds after the extinction of the dinosaurs. When scientists describe rock formations or fossil finds as Neogeic, they are indicating that these belong to this relatively recent geological period.
