Remnant

It is now early Pliocene, Otodus megalodon have become a rare sight, let alone in great size. A vacuum in the marine ecosystem will be created in the wake of megalodon extinction. A void that Carcharodon carcharias, the great white sharks, ready to fill.

Late Pliocene in what is now Bulgaria, an Homotherium latidens is having a good scratch

pliocene - cosmo sheldrake

Homotherium latidens
Homotherine cats were formidable predators spreading in almost all continents from late Pliocene -5 mya- going extinct about 12000 years ago

Megalodon jaws complete with fossil teeth, with a Great White Shark, inside the jaws.

Megalodon, an extinct  species of  mackerel shark that lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago, from Early Miocene to Pliocene  epochs. Megalodon became extinct over 3.6 million years

The Siberian Unicorn :

Reconstruction of an Elasmotherium, an extinct species of rhino that lived in the Eurasian area in the Late Pliocene and Pleistocene eras (around 39000 years ago)

This animal could have been the basis for the unicorn myth that has persisted for thousands

Vuoi mai che il #trentino si privi di qualche idea del cazzo? Poi chiamano arretrati i pastori sardi ed abruzzesi , quando loro sono rimasti al Pliocene e le loro mogli hanno ancora l’uso dell’accoppiamento rituale comunitario intorno al fuoco nelle grotte

Elasmotherium ('Thin Plate Beast') is an extinct genus of rhinoceros endemic to Eurasia during the Late Pliocene through the Pleistocene, documented from 2.6 Ma to as late as 29,000 years ago in the Late Pleistocene

Jensh!tters in the qrts... Yall are not only setting up jen, but youre showing the world that youre as smart as a fossilised rock from the pliocene era. You can hear BOTH voices of Jensoo LOUD and CLEAR. Jisoo is just TOO good at harmonizing so thats why she sounds too similar.

Sometimes an extra effort really pays off.
This is a new locality in 'my' #island with amazing #leaf #fossils , some still with colours. Preservation reminds me of the #Clarkia leaf fossils.

'Exciting news! 🌟 Today marks a milestone as I present my first conference poster on our groundbreaking work in East Turkana. Join me between 16:15–18:00 CEST, Hall X1 (180) to explore how 'Hominin Technology Flourished amid Pliocene Environmental Variance in the Turkana Basin'

📌Tertiary rocks

This structure extends from Kashmir to Assam.

The rocks of this sequence were formed from the Eocene period to the Pliocene period.

■ The Himalayan mountain range was formed in this period.

■ Limestone deposits are found in Himachal Pradesh and Garhwal

If you can go from the Pliocene Epoch (where it was 2-3 degrees warmer than today) to the Ice Age & then to the Holocene Age (our age) then obviously global warming & cooling happens naturally, or was it because cave men drove cars?

We are entering the new Pliocene.

Meet this hunk of slothful majesty: Eremotherium eomigrans, of the Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene of Florida 🇺🇸. This was one of the largest sloths ever, being similar in size to its younger cousin, E. laurillardi, though lighter in weight at about 3 tons… (1/3)
