	Pliocene epoch — FactMonster.com
		The close of the Pliocene was marked in North America by the Cascadian revolution, in the course of which the Sierra Nevada was elevated and tilted to the west.
		The life of the Pliocene was notable for its modern appearance; the Pliocene marked the climax, and perhaps the initial decline, of the supremacy of the mammals.

	Pleistocene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pleistocene is the third epoch of the Neogene period or 6th epoch of the Cenozoic era.
		The continuous climatic history from the Pliocene into the Pleistocene and Holocene was one reason for the International Commission on Stratigraphy to propose discontinuance of the use of the term "Quaternary", this proposal was strongly objected to by the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA).
		The proposal of INQUA is to extend the beginning of the Pleistocene to the beginning of the Gelasian Stage, shortening the Pliocene, and ending the Neogene with the revised end of the Pliocene.

	Pliocene Epoch: World of Earth Science
		The Pliocene Epoch is the last epoch on the Tertiary Period or, in the alternative, the last epoch in the Neogene Period.
		The Pliocene Epoch is further subdivided into Zanclian (5 mya to 3.9 mya) and Placenzian (3.9 mya to 2.6 mya) stages.
		By the end of the Pliocene Epoch, the subsequent extinctions of Homo habilis and Homo rudolfensis were almost contemporaneous with the appearance of Homo ergaster, a species some anthropologists argue is one of the earliest identifiable direct ancestors of Homo sapiens.

	Palaeos Cenozoic: Pliocene: The Pliocene Epoch
		The Pliocene saw the continuation of the climatic cooling that had began in the Miocene, with subtropical regions retreating equatorially, the beginning of the large ice caps, especially in Antarctica, and the northern hemisphere lands and ocean cooling likewise.
		The fauna of the Pliocene does not differ much from that of the Miocene, although the period is regarded by many zoologists as the climax of the Age of Mammals.
		This epoch is characterized by the appearance of all of the presently existing orders and families, and many of the existing genera of mammals.

		The Isthmus of Panama is the narrow strip of land that lies between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, linking North and South America.
		It was formed some 3 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch.
		It lies in the nation of Panama, and is cut by the Panama Canal.

	PLIOCENE MAN IN AMERICA
		Whether the Pliocene strata he has explored so fully on the Pacific coast corresponds strictly with the deposits which bear that name in Europe, may be a question requiring further consideration.
		He says the course of the streams was the same at the commencement as now; and accounts for the gravel as having been made by the streams, the "slow and ordinary working of the streams," interrupted by grand paroxysmal action during which large quantities had been dropped and spread over a large area.
		Whitney and others for the Pliocene age of human remains found in the gold gravels of California, I have never held to be valid, and have regretted that able geologists should have committed themselves to so startling and otherwise improbable conclusions on grounds apparently so insufficient.

	History of the World - Pliocene
		As North and South Ameirca finally met, the isthmus of Panama rose from the sea, separating the tropical Atlantic from the Pacific and ending South America's long isolation.
		These dinosaurs had been absent from North America since the end of the Oligocene and their recent arrival from Asia heralded the return of giant horned herds to the continent.
		Biogeographically, the most important event of the Pliocene was the linking of the two Americas.

	PALEOCLIMATE: ON GLOBAL COOLING IN THE PLIOCENE EPOCH
		2) Relative to today, the Pliocene warm period was characterized by 3 deg C higher global surface temperatures, 10-20 m higher sea level, enhanced thermohaline circulation(1,2), slightly reduced Antarctic ice sheets, emerging but small Northern Hemisphere ice coverage(3), and 30% higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations(1,4).
		A small decrease in carbon dioxide concentration could explain the cooling at the end of the warm period if coupled with positive feedbacks, as suggested for the onset of significant Antarctic glaciation(5).

		We present a high-resolution climate record from a sediment core spanning an 80-kyr interval of time during the mid-Pliocene epoch, when warmer conditions and lower global ice volume prevailed worldwide.
