This is, geologically-speaking, rather a young group, having evolved from the Late Paleocene in the Cenozoic Era.

The Alpine orogeny ( sometimes also called Alpide orogeny ) is an orogenic phase in the Late Mesozoic ( Eoalpine ) and Cenozoic that formed the mountain ranges of the Alpide belt.

Small amount of igneous activity has happened in the Early Jurassic ( i. e. 210 million years ago ), Late Mesozoic ( i. e. 100-90 million years ago ) and Cenozoic periods ( i. e. 65 million years ago ).

The Nevadan orogeny was the first of three major mountain building episodes to transform Western North America between the Late Mesozoic and Early Cenozoic Eras, the latter two being the Sevier and Laramide orogeny, chronologically.

Temperature has been estimated ( to varying degrees of fidelity ) using leaf physiognomy for Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic leaf floras, principally using two main approaches:

Fluvial sedimentation from the Fennoscandian area into the North-West European Basin during the Late Cenozoic.

The Late Cenozoic Eridanos delta system in the southern North Sea Basin: a climate signal in sediment supply?

Its fossils first were found by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1870, in the Late Cretaceous Smoky Hill Chalk deposits of western Kansas.

They are among the earliest and most abundant of the small shelly fossils with mineralized skeletons, and therefore feature in the debate about why such skeletons first appeared in the Late Ediacaran.

A number of other Paleogene fossils have at times been assigned to the Cuculiformes, but they are not usually included here anymore in more recent treatments: The Late Paleocene to mid-Eocene Gracilitarsidae were at first believed to be cuculiforms but this is not generally accepted today.

They originated as marine animals, possibly in the Cambrian period, but the first confirmed chelicerate fossils, eurypterids, date from in the Late Ordovician period.

The oldest alcid fossil is Hydrotherikornis from Oregon dating to the Late Eocene while fossils of Aethia and Uria go back to the Late Miocene.

Two very fragmentary fossils are often assigned to the Alcidae, although this may not be correct: Hydrotherikornis ( late Eocene ) and Petralca ( Late Oligocene ).

Cidaroids have changed very little since the Late Triassic and are today considered to be living fossils.

Many fossils of the Late Jurassic Plesiocidaris still have the spines attached.

Lance Creek is the namesake of the Lance Formation, a rock formation from the Late Cretaceous that has yielded fossils from a diverse number of species.

In the same way, it is entirely possible to go and visit an Upper Cretaceous Series deposit-such as the Hell Creek deposit where the Tyrannosaurus fossils were found-but it is naturally impossible to visit the Late Cretaceous Epoch as that is a period of time.

The evolutionary history of this group is not well documented, but the known fossils allow some preliminary conclusions: the earliest known modern picids were piculet-like forms of the Late Oligocene, about 25 million years ago ( mya ).

Western Grebe fossils from the Late Pleistocene of SW North America

However, fossils found in the Ichetucknee River, Florida, and originally described as a new form of heron ( Palaeophoyx columbiana ; McCoy, 1963 ) were later recognized to be a smaller, prehistoric subspecies of the American Bittern which lived during the Late Pleistocene ( Olson, 1974 ) and would thus be called B. l. columbianus.

Some earwig specimen fossils are in the extinct suborder Archidermaptera dating to the Late Triassic.

Two prehistoric harlequin ducks were described from fossils, although both were initially placed in a distinct genus: Histrionicus shotwelli is known from Middle to Late Miocene deposits of Oregon, USA and was considered to form a distinct monotypic genus, Ocyplonessa.

Denali is emerging as a site of interesting fossils, including footprints ( ichnites ) that when they were first publicly reported in May 2006, were credited with being the first evidence of prehistoric wading birds probing in mudflats for food during the Late Cretaceous Period.

The earliest described chelydrid is Emarginachelys cretacea, known from well preserved fossils from the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous of Montana.

The oldest known anguid is Odaxosaurus, from the late Campanian of Canada, approximately 75 million years ago, and anguids are relatively common as fossils the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene of western North America.

At least five extinct genera, known only from fossils, are classified as Osteoglossids ; these date back at least as far as the Late Cretaceous.

Other fossils from as far back as the Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous are widely considered to belong to the arowana superorder Osteoglossomorpha.

Moreover, because these feathers take the advanced form of flight feathers, Archaeopteryx fossils are evidence that feathers began to evolve before the Late Jurassic.

* Late Cambrian trace fossils from intertidal settings include Protichnites and Climactichnites, amongst others

Another Semitic etymology compares Assyrian barīrītu, the name of a female demon found in Middle Babylonian and Late Babylonian texts.

Older remains from the Upper Late Palaeolithic era ( 12, 000 – 13, 000 years ago ) have been found.

Older remains from the Upper Late Palaeolithic era ( 12, 000 – 13, 000 years ago ) have been found.

Late Roman Empire ( Christian ) 1st-2nd century frescoes were found in catacombs beneath Rome and Byzantine Icons were also found in Cyprus, Crete, Ephesus, Cappadocia and Antioch.

An unidentifable finch fossil from the Messinian age, around 12 to 7. 3 million years ago ( Ma ) during the Late Miocene subepoch, has been found at Polgárdi in Hungary.

The remains of these birds, which presumably were the direct ancestors of the living F. t. tinnunculus ( and perhaps other subspecies ), are found throughout the then-unglaciated parts of Europe, from the Late Pliocene ( ELMA Villanyian / ICS Piacenzian, MN16 ) about 3 million years ago to the Middle Pleistocene Saalian glaciation which ended about 130. 000 years ago, when they finally gave way to birds indistinguishable from those living today.

The etymology of the word into English is from Old French Philistin, from Classical Latin Philistinus found in the writings of Josephus, from Late Greek Philistinoi ( Phylistiim in the Septuagint ) found in the writings by Philo, from Hebrew Plištim, ( e. g. 1 Samuel 17: 36 ; 2 Samuel 1: 20 ; Judges 14: 3 ; Amos 1: 8 ), " people of Plešt " (" Philistia "); cf.

Depictions of world trees, both in their directional and central aspects, are found in the art and mythological traditions of cultures such as the Maya, Aztec, Izapan, Mixtec, Olmec, and others, dating to at least the Mid / Late Formative periods of Mesoamerican chronology.

Late in the century the Vikings, seafaring peoples from Scandinavia, begin raiding the coasts of Europe and the Mediterranean, and go on to found several important kingdoms.

* Late 4th century BC: Diadem, reputed to have been found in a tomb near the Hellespont.

* Late 2nd century BC or early 1st century BC – Aulus Metellus, found near Perugia, is made.

The tomb was found in a place used as a necropolis since the Late Roman Empire, so it is possible that the body belonged to a prominent person of the area: British historian Henry Chadwick hypothesized the tomb of Compostela actually hold the remains of Priscillian.

Another extinct species, Dow's Puffin ( Fratercula dowi ) was found on the Channel Islands of California until the Late Pleistocene or early Holocene.

Many first hand accounts of the American War of Independence can be found in " the Diary of Lieutenant Frederick Mackenzie " or Serjeant Roger Lamb's " Original and Authentic Journal of Occurrences During the Late American War ".

A leg of an undescribed small diver was found in the Late Oligocene deposits at Enspel ( Germany ); it too may or may not belong to Colymboides.

A " ciconiiform " fossil fragment from the Touro Passo Formation found at Arroio Touro Passo ( Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil ) might be of the living Wood Stork M. americana ; it is at most of Late Pleistocene age, a few 10. 000s of years.

Lying close to the coast of Eastern Macedonia, Thasos was inhabited from the Palaeolithic period onwards, but the earliest settlement to have been explored in detail is that at Limenaria where Middle and Late Neolithic remains have been found that relate closely to those of the Drama Plain.

Apollonius of Tyana, a legendary wise man and seer of Late Antiquity, once visited the shrine and found that, when it came to philosophy, Trophonius was a proponent of sound Pythagorean doctrines.

He found fragments of Indian ceramics dating from the Late Woodland / Contact Period and determined that the area was the " possible site of Werowocomoco.
