Abstract

Abstract The Neogene Period/System (approximately the past 24 million years) is the younger of a twofold subdivision of the Cenozoic Era which includes as its lower component the Palaeogene Period/System (65–24 Ma). It includes the Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene (and in some sources Holocene) Epochs/Series.
