  Cenozoic - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Cenozoic Era (sometimes still Caenozoic in the United Kingdom) is the most recent of the four classic geological eras.
It covers the 65.5 million years since the extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous that marked the demise of the last dinosaurs and the end of the Mesozoic Era.
Australia-New Guinea split from Gondwana to drift north and, eventually, abut South-east Asia; Antarctica moved into its current position over the South Pole; the Atlantic Ocean widened and, late in the era, South America became attached to North America.

 Crustacean Sounds
Although crustaceans are rarer as fossils than trilobites are, a number of different types of crustaceans are common in the rocks of the Cretaceous period as well as those of the Caenozoic era.
Most of the smaller crustaceans, such as shrimp, have an exoskeleton which is somewhat delicate and for this reason their fossil record is incomplete.
Well preserved specimens are known from the rocks of the Cretaceous period and the Caenozoic era.

This event led to doming or lithospheric buckling, and near to the plate boundaries, the Alpine-Dinaride mountains were built, and the sea margin moved externally to be confined to the North Sea Graben and the southern Tethys Sea.
The comparison of Caenozoic continental facies, and the eustatic records, reveal a correlation between the periods of uplift, leaching and weathering, and between the periods of subsidence, carbonate sedimentation (Wyns 2002).
During the Upper Caenozoic, it represented an integral part of an extensive mainland, which extended from Central France as far as the western margin of the Russian table.

In many decapods, the eggs are retained by the females until they hatch into free-swimming larvae.
Most of the smaller crustaceans, such as shrimp, have an exoskeleton which is somewhat delicate and for this reason their fossil record is comparatively poor.
The most well-known crustaceans, the Malacostraca (including crabs, lobsters, crayfish and shrimp), although widespread today, are only found sporadically as fossils.

Although crustaceans are rarer as fossils than, say, trilobites are, a number of different types of crustaceans are common in the rocks of the Cretaceous period as well as those of the Caenozoic era.
Most of the smaller crustaceans, such as shrimp, have a somewhat delicate exoskeleton and for this reason their fossil record is incomplete.
The lithographic limestones from the Jurassic period of Solnhofen in Germany have long been famed for the many exceptionally preserved crabs, lobsters and shrimp fossils they have yielded (such as Aeger, Eryon, and Pseudastacus).

 Yilgarn craton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The regolith is extremely deeply weathered, in some areas completely converted to saprolite up to 100 metres below surface.
This is considered to have been produced during Caenozoic to Palaeocene tropical conditions, as evidenced by mottled duricrust which records fossilised tree roots, some over 60 million years old.
Previous weathering events have been recorded in magnetically remnant ferruginous laterite of a Jurassic age, at about 180 Ma.

 Edinburgh Geologist - Demise of the Tertiary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Phanerozoic, now taken as everything down to and including the Cambrian, was divided into three further subdivisions, again based on the form of the fossils seen in the rocks and using Greek prefixes to -zoic.
The spelling of Caenozoic has been the matter of some uncertainty over the years and we have had Caenozoic, Cainozoic and, more recently, Cenozoic.
The general agreement now seems to be that we go with the last spelling and from now on, I shall use that term.

Most of the clues will come from books, but not the big glossy picture books that skim over such a wide range of orders of fossils, but with little or no depth, I mean dull looking wordy books with few pictures, but real useful information in the text.
The starting point will be the three volumes published by the Natural History Museum – British Caenozoic, Mesozoic and Palaeozoic Fossils.
Each of these books give line drawings of the most frequently found species of each group or Order of fossils, over the three great divisions of time that life has existed on earth.
