Researchers identified the fossil as Glyptodon reticulatus, a megafauna species from the Late Pleistocene epoch.

Each variation reflects a major climatic change. For the last 11,500 years, Earth has been in the Holocene Epoch. It began at the end of the last ice age, when glaciers that had previously covered ...

Geologists have assigned the present time to the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period, part of the Cenozoic Era, on the time scale of the 4.6-billion-year history of the Earth. However ...

Pleistocene: The geological epoch that lasted from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago, characterized by repeated glacial cycles and significant changes in flora and fauna. Holocene: The current ...

While some have argued it should be an epoch akin to the Holocene, others have classified it as "an 'event,' like a mass extinction," the BBC said. Moreover, while the AWC pegged the mid-20th ...

The Anthropocene, if it gains formal recognition, would follow the Holocene epoch, which began 11,700 years at the conclusion of the last Ice Age. "Clearly the biology of the planet has changed ...

Technically, the current epoch is the Holocene, but human activity has altered the world so significantly, that, with our usual species-centric perspective, we have shunned hubris and given the ...

And it’s just not Meghalaya on its own. The entire Holocene epoch has been sub-divided into three categories. The oldest age is the Greelandian that starts 11,700 years ago, followed by the ...

The findings show the world’s tropical regions have already warmed past limits last seen at the outset of the Holocene age. Scientists have predicted glaciers would ... that glacial retreat has ...
