AMK152 proposed in edits of 27 December 2006 a geotimebox for this article. I feel that the box information that is appropriate for the article is already in the footer, and that other information can be supplied where important, by links from the text. See discussion at Template talk:Geotimebox. -- Bejnar 20:18, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
What is the abbreviation for Paleogene--is it Pg ?
It turns out that the Paleogene is of specific relevance in the oil industry, where it's got a lot of discussion and a high profile.
I started to create an article Lower Tertiary,but Paleogene is the identical period. So I've added a section on Geology of the Paleogene, which should have considerable information to add by someone knowledgeable, mainly as a place to add the oil industry related knowledge of the geology of that period.
I'm fairly sure it belongs in this article and hopefully others will expand the article to cover other aspects of the Paleogene.....

Palæogene is offered up as an alternative but the commonly encountered British English spelling is Palaeogene - I don't recall coming across Palæogene. cheers Geopersona ( talk) 06:31, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
This page needs a 'Key Events' table. A Template is available to make it look like all the other Era time periods. i.e. Template:Jurassic graphical timeline -- Denton22 ( talk) 22:33, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
Can someone with expertise correct the mention of grasses as evolved in this period. Grasses are now known from the Late Cretaceous. If in trouble to find references have a look at the article on Poaceae (true grasses) and look at the references cited there. Learningnave ( talk) 04:13, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
The statement on grasses evolving during this period should be removed. Aside from being uncited, it is in conflict with what the properly cited Poaceae page says about when grasses evolved. Philip72 ( talk) 18:11, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
. Also, could you correct the statement in the 'flora and fauna' section of the 'Palaeogene' article that reads, "....Those that took to the oceans became modern cetaceans, while those that took to the trees became primates, the group to which humans belong..." . The way it reads, it suggests all mamals that took to the oceans became cetaceans and that all the mamals that took to the trees became primates. Examples to the contrary abound. Consider manatees and sea lions. Consider squirrels and sloths. 2600:8807:8787:7700:A080:B7B4:96A1:1829 ( talk) 12:52, 5 January 2017 (UTC)BGriffin

The material in this section is very much focussed on one small part of the globe and ought perhaps to be removed to another location. The alternative would be to add corresponding material for everywhere else which would be unwieldy. Geopersona ( talk) 08:37, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Mya (unit) In astronomy, geology, and paleontology, mya or "m.y.a." is an acronym for million years ago. This abbreviation is commonly used as a unit of time to denote length of time before the present or "B.P." (before AD 1950). Specifically, one mya is equal to 10 6 years ago.In more simplistic writing it appears 1 mya is around 1 million years ago.
"Use of "mya" and "bya" is deprecated in modern geophysics, the recommended usage being "Ma" and "Ga" for dates Before Present, but "m.y." for the durations of epochs. This ad hoc distinction between "absolute" time and time intervals is somewhat controversial amongst members of the Geological Society of America"The controversy is explained here. I do see other articles using Mya.
The 1.2 Myr cycle of obliquity amplitude modulation governed eustatic sea level changes on shorter timescales, with periods of low amplitude coinciding with intervals of low sea levels and vice versa.What! This is evidence of scientific mumbo jumbo that would mean absolutely nothing to anyone not "well-versed in the topic's field".
The Flora and Fauna part of this page should be more interesting, showing specific interesting species at the time. Like the Cambrian page, and others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.86.125.130 ( talk) 16:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
