Do you know anything about the formation of rocks during the Cenozoic Era?

Question

i cant find any good sources for this topic
please give detail if you can

Answer 1

You may have to make assumptions of your own, researching into paleosoic stages as well as mesosoic, and creating a theory about possibilities of complex chemistry in rocks and perhaps meteors which hit the Earth at the time.

Cenozoic is VERY recent, and therefore only animal history can be found rather than Earth Science in this period, however, I am rather sceptical about learning the mineral and rock formations, volcanoes of the time period and other useful facts to theorize in the way of evolution by complex chemistry in rock formations from the Cenozoic time period.

Answer 2

What comes to mind is glaciation... lots of it... in fact, it would seem the repeated advances & retreats ground up the sedimentatry forms and helped to create many of the granite & other metamorphic formations found in the 1&1/2 million years of this era. I think of the geodes found in the Lake superior/Great Lakes bodies of water as truly representative of that era..

Answer 3

Lake Mead, Yellowstone, Hawaii, if you were more specific about what you would like to know about rock formations it might be easier to find information

Answer 4

Two possiblities to give you good answers:

1) look into Continental Drift
2) look into North American Glaciers.

Answer 5

Big question. Big, big question. Google the "Laramide Orogeny".
