The Paleocene, or Palaeocene, was the epoch of Earth history immediately following the K-T extinction event, spanning 65 to 56 million BC
With the destruction of so many species, other species evolved to take their place. The early Paleocene forests were dominated by ferns. Later in the epoch, the ferns give way to larger plants; the absence of grazing herds of vegetation-hungry Sauropods meant that plants could grow bigger. Small mammal-like creatures competed with the surviving reptiles and birds for food. (PROSE: Prehistory Repeating Itself [+]Loading...["Prehistory Repeating Itself (feature)"])
