-
- Pangea broke to early forms of continents.
- Which lead to rise of temperature at the poles as cold water mixed with warm water.
- Wet, tropical rainforests
- Monotreme broke apart from other mammals
-
- Africa separated from South America, creating South Atlantic Ocean.
- Placental mammals split from marsupials
-
- First flowering plants emerge, period of rapid evolution
-
- placental mammals split into their four major groups: laurasiatheres, euarchontoglires, Xenarthra, afrotheres
-
- Interaction of animals and plants during late Cretaceous and Paleogene period created third rapid coevolution of animals and trees.
-
- Large underwater volcanic eruption wiped 27% of marine invertebrates out, oxygens depleted from the ocean
-
- North America separated from Europe, Australia and Antartica separated from rest of the continenets
- More separation of continents, plate tectonic collisions formed Mountains (Himalaya)
-
- Grasses evolve, fossil of 5 different types of grasses with same pollen found from stomach of plant eating dinosaur
-
- Mass extinction that wiped out three-quarters of earth animals, no single trace of dinosaurs were found from rocks younger than 66 Million Years Ago
- Plants were devastate on global levels, might be due to volcanoes eruptions and lavas.
-
- Primates split into two groups: haplorrhines and strepsirrhines, sterpsirrhines eventually evolved into modern monkeys and humans
-
- Sudden increase in Earth's temperature that resulted in the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
-
- Australian plate separated from Antartica
- tropical forest continues to grow until it peaked.
-
- New mountains affected global wind patterns and drive the Monsoon season
-
- Apes were split from first forms of monkeys
-
- Humans diverge from its closest relatives; the chimpanzees and bonobos
