The meteorite killed off the dinosaurs and started the Cenozoic Era, or what is known as the age of mammals.

The K-Pg Extinction marks the boundary between the Cretaceous Period and the Paleogene Period, the first of the Cenozoic Era.

K-Pg 灭绝事件着白垩纪和古近纪（新生代的第一个纪）的分界。

Alright... so now we know about our mammal relatives from the Mesozoic, but what happened after during the Cenozoic?

好吧… … 所以现在我们了解了中生代的哺乳动物亲属，但是新生代之后发生了什么？

The next one happened about 100 million years later during the Cenozoic era, after the extinction of the dinosaurs and the rise of mammals.

下一次发生在大约1亿年后的新生代，当时恐龙灭绝和哺乳动物崛起。

They met during a conference on the Cenozoic area, where they presented their research on the impact of meteorites on the extinction of cold-blooded organisms.

他们在一次关于新生代地区的会议上相遇，在那里他们展示了陨石对冷血动物灭绝影响的研究。

Well, there's a 20-million-year gap in the fossil record between the last Cretaceous ant and the earliest Cenozoic ant fossils.

好吧，在最后的白垩纪蚂蚁和最早的新生代蚂蚁化石之间的化石记录中有 2000 年的差距。

Free of competition from the tree-dwelling opposite birds, a lot of neoavians quickly took to life in trees at the dawn of the Cenozoic.

由于没有与栖息在树上的鸟类竞争， 新生代初期，许多新鸟类迅速在树上生活。

But, as the Cenozoic Era started, a completely different group of sea turtles was ready to take over the world's oceans -- the true leatherbacks.

但是，随着新生代的开始，一群完全不同的海龟准备接管世界海洋——真正的棱皮龟。

For example, let's assume the nonavian dinosaurs had the same ratio of big species to small ones as the extinct land mammals of the Cenozoic era did.

例如，我们假设非鸟类恐龙的大型物种与小型物种的比例与新生代灭绝的陆生哺乳动物相同。

Nowadays, and speaking very generally, geological time is divided first into four great chunks known as eras, Precambrian, Paleozoic, from the Greek meaning old life, Mesozoic, middle life, and Cenozoic, recent life.

现在, 一般来说, 地质时间首先分为四个大块, 称为时代, 前寒武纪, 古生代, 来自希腊语, 意思是旧生活, 中生代, 中生代和新生代, 最近的生活。
