The Miocene (/ˈmaɪəˌsiːn/; symbol MI) is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about 23.03 to 5.332 million years ago (Ma). The Miocene was named by Sir Charles Lyell. Its name comes from the Greek words μείων (meiōn, “less”) and καινός (kainos, “new”) and means "less recent" because it has 18% fewer modern sea invertebrates than the Pliocene. The Miocene follows the Oligocene Epoch and is followed by the Pliocene Epoch.
The earth went from the Oligocene through the Miocene and into the Pliocene as it cooled into a series of ice ages. The Miocene boundaries are not marked by a single distinct global event but consist rather of regional boundaries between the warmer Oligocene and the cooler Pliocene.
The apes arose and diversified during the Miocene, becoming widespread in the Old World. By the end of this epoch, the ancestors of humans had split away from the ancestors of the chimpanzees to follow their own evolutionary path. As in the Oligocene before it, grasslands continued to expand and forests to dwindle in extent. In the Miocene seas, kelp forests made their first appearance and soon became one of Earth's most productive ecosystems. The plants and animals of the Miocene were fairly modern. Mammals and birds were well-established. Whales, seals, and kelp spread. The Miocene is of particular interest to geologists and palaeoclimatologists as major phases of the Himalayan orogeny had occurred during the Miocene affecting monsoonal patterns in Asia, which were interlinked with glaciations in the northern hemisphere.
To celebrate ten years to the day since Miocene played our final show, I've uploaded some earlier footage from the Kings Head on the 16th June 2001. Show was with headliners One Minute Silence and support from Vacant Stare, the mighty mighty Charger, and Silva. 0:00 - Free Reign 7:30 - Pure 13:20 - Deus Ex Machina 23:54 - Fits Like That

This video from the Museum's Florida Fossils exhibit describes the Miocene Epoch, 24 million to 5 million years ago. While much of the Northern Hemisphere was becoming cooler, the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico protected Florida. Still, Florida's climate became increasingly drier and more seasonal, particularly during the late Miocene. Shallow water marine habitats supported thousands of species of marine animals and plants. Life on land was becoming increasingly more abundant. The spread of grassland savannas with mixed woodlands offered a wide range of plant foods for grazing and browsing mammals. Florida had giant tortoises, giant sloths, elephant-like proboscideans, tapirs, camels, horses, rhinos, and, of course, predators, like bear-dogs and saber-toothed false cats. Produced...
High... higher than the stars... Soft focussing And so certain of everything but Nights fall so much darker now Sweet mother money pulled you in Into the corporate cowshed squealing at first But eventually we all sleep A forgetful smile on our faces With our spiteful lord and god Cold enough to fake it The tears in our eyes Older than the innocence we fake Yet so much more alive ...but... I am an island of madness [in this sea of method] Marooned by my self-reference [as scene sharks circle] The ego has landed [I watched them line up] To sell their stunted little souls [to the highest bidder] In this sea of sense Of comfort and contentment When I pulled you close to me you couldn't see I needed more than your protection Than your pity, than your face, than your gimmick We exist wit...
