Cenozoic (Cainozoic, Kainozoic) Era of geologic time extending from about 65 million years ago to the present. It includes the Tertiary and Quaternary Periods: the so-called ages of mammals and man. Molluscs and microfossils are used in the stratigraphic subdivision of the era. The Alpine—Himalayan orogeny reached its climax during this period of geologic time.
