The Popotosa Formation is the original locality for the Socorro flora, estimated to be 20 to 15 million years old. The Socorro flora is notable for its impressions of juniper foliage, angiosperm leaflets, and floral parts.
The Neogene (/ ˈ n iː. ə dʒ iː n / NEE-ə-jeen, [6] [7]) is a geologic period and system that spans 20.45 million years from the end of the Paleogene Period 23.04 million years ago to the beginning of the present Quaternary Period 2.58 million years ago.
The Mammal Neogene zones or MN zones are system of biostratigraphic zones in the stratigraphic record used to correlate mammal-bearing fossil localities of the Neogene period of Europe. It consists of seventeen consecutive zones (numbered MN 1 through MN 18; MN 7 and 8 have been joined into MN 7/8 zone) defined through reference faunas, well ...

Outcrops of the Narrow Cape Formation at Fossil Beach, Kodiak Island, Alaska. The Narrow Cape Formation is a geologic formation in the Kodiak Archipelago, in Alaska. The formation outcrops along Narrow Cape and nearby Ugak Island. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period. Invertebrate fossils are abundant, along with rare ...
An amateur fossil hunter discovered the first Columbian mammoth tusk ever found in Mississippi. The 7-foot-long, fully intact tusk was tucked into a bluff near a stream that may have swept away ...
The Gunflint Iron Formation is a banded iron formation, composed predominantly of dense chert and slate layers interbedded with ankerite carbonate layers. The chert layers can be subdivided into black layers (containing organic material and pyrite), red layers (containing hematite), and green layers (containing siderite). [5]
The specimen was preserved in pyrite, or fool's gold, making it easy to produce 3D models of the fossil using CT scans. Credits: Luke Parry/Yu Liu/Ruixin Ran (3D models). - courtesy Luke Parry/Yu ...
