31. It preserves fossils dating back to the Late / Upper Miocene epoch of the Neogene period. 32. The Chinese alligator likely descended from a lineage that crossed the Bering land bridge during the Neogene . 33. Extensive tectonic uplift occurred at Level Mountain and elsewhere on the Stikine Plateau during the Neogene period. 34. Initially, it was a large lake that filled in with Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary materials. 35. In the southern Pannonian Basin, the Neogene to Quaternary sediment depth is normally lower, averaging. 36. The sites were found in neogene assemblage of the Qaraoun culture in light of more modern research. 37. During the Miocene epoch of the ensuing Neogene period west-central Louisiana held a coastal plain. 38. Some geologists assert that the Neogene cannot be clearly delineated from the modern geological period, the Quaternary. 39. The most recent tectonic activity in the park is basin and range faulting from the Neogene to Quaternary. 40. Southern Georgia remained submerged by shallow seawater into the ensuing Paleogene and Neogene periods of the Cenozoic era.
