Ordering Cenozoic Epochs: Recent to Oldest
The question asks to arrange the specified epochs of the Cenozoic Era in order from the most recent to the oldest.
Epoch Ordering
The standard order of Cenozoic Epochs, starting from the most recent, is:
- Holocene (D) - Approximately 11,700 years ago to the present.
- Pliocene (B) - Approximately 5.3 million to 2.6 million years ago.
- Oligocene (C) - Approximately 33.9 million to 23 million years ago.
- Eocene (E) - Approximately 56 million to 33.9 million years ago.
- Paleocene (A) - Approximately 66 million to 56 million years ago.
Epoch Sequence Table
| Letter Code | Epoch Name | Chronological Order (Most Recent to Oldest) |
| D | Holocene | 1st (Most Recent) |
| B | Pliocene | 2nd |
| C | Oligocene | 3rd |
| E | Eocene | 4th |
