The Eocene (symbol EO) epoch, lasting from about 56 to 34 million years ago (55.8±0.2 to 33.9±0.1 Ma), is a major division of the geologic timescale and the second epoch of the Paleogene Period in the Cenozoic Era. The Eocene spans the time from the end of the Palaeocene Epoch to the beginning of the Oligocene Epoch. The start of the Eocene is marked by the emergence of the first modern mammals. The end is set at a major extinction event called the Grande Coupure (the "Great Break" in continuity) or the Eocene–Oligocene extinction event, which may be related to the impact of one or more large bolides in Siberia and in what is now Chesapeake Bay. As with other geologic periods, the strata that define the start and end of the epoch are well identified, though their exact dates are slightly uncertain.
The name Eocene comes from the Greek ἠώς (eos, dawn) and καινός (kainos, new) and refers to the "dawn" of modern ('new') mammalian fauna that appeared during the epoch.
The Eocene epoch is usually broken into Early and Late, or - more usually - Early, Middle, and Late subdivisions. The corresponding rocks are referred to as Lower, Middle, and Upper Eocene. The Faunal stages from youngest to oldest are:
Ooo yeah
Baby baby
I ease the pain
Could see us in our holy faith
But one day we changed I
Dreamed from big in a face
I'm already so tired to carry water open for the other side
Me I don't know but every time I look up I'm waiting for the sky to cry
Maybe be like water falling down from heaven's high
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna waste another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep
I wanna learn to live and stop panicking
I don't want us sit like 2 mannequins
I'm already so tired to carry water open for the other side
Me I don't know but every time I look up I'm waiting for the sky to cry
Why can't we just
Maybe be like water falling down from heaven's high
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna
Cause I don't wanna spend another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Before we dive into the deep end
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Be like water falling down from heaven's high (heaven's high heaven's high)
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna
Cause I don't wanna spend another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
