Actually, Lyell established the epoch names, such as Miocene, not on the basis of the mammalian faunas, but on the basis of the marine invertebrate fauna. The epochs were identified by the percentage of living molluscan species found in the rock units - the Miocene having 18%.

Who will monitor this page in order to keep this date current? --[[User:WunHungLow] 23:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
AMK152 proposed in edits of 27 December 2006 a geotimebox for this article as follows:
Eon: | Proterozoic • Phanerozoic • [[]] |
Era: | Mesozoic • Cenozoic • [[]] |
Period: | Paleogene • Neogene • [[]] |
Epoch: | Oligocene • Miocene • Pliocene |
I feel that the box information that is appropriate for the article is already in the footer, and that other extraneous information, such as previous eons, can be supplied where important, by links from the text. I removed the geotimebox and left the footer, pending discussion. --

The article states that mountain building was occurring in western North America. I'm not aware of a major orogenic phase during the Miocene. Volcanoes in the Cascades continue to erupt to this day, but the Laramide orogeny largely ended in the Eocene, and that was pretty much the last one. - Parsa ( talk) 23:40, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, could someone please write a stub on Sarmatian or at least mention it in the article? The oldest known seahorse species ( Hippocampus sarmaticus and Hippocampus slovenicus) date to Sarmatian. -- Eleassar my talk 13:48, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm at a loss to understand why - following a recent revert of my fix - the unexplained abbreviation "Ma" is used in this article, or why it is linked, via a redirect, to " Year". Nor why it is is deemed preferable to use that unexplained abbreviation in every table row rather than once in a table header cell. Nor can I see why my use of the term "Millions of years" as a more comprehensible alternative was deemed inappropriate. Perhaps someone can explain to me how the current version is thought easier for the readers of a general encyclopedia to understand, and more accessible?
