| rdfs:comment | - The Pliocene was a geological period in Earth history that ended millions of years ago. Hanon IV in the Delta Quadrant was described by Chakotay as, being at first glance, in the Pliocene stage of evolution for Class M planets. (VOY: "Basics, Part I", "Basics, Part II")
- The Pliocene was an epoch in Earth's history, which was home to predators such as Terror Birds and Thylacosmilus. This epoch marked the dawn of man, as the Australopithecus, primitive hominids, evolved during this time.
- The Pliocene period is one of the most "modern" prehistoric time periods. It is famous for the giant shark, Megalodon and the only time Great white sharks and Megalodon swam the oceans together.
- The Pliocene was a geological time period which, according to evolutionists and Old Earth Creationists, occurred approximately 5 million to 2 million years ago. Evolutionists believe that Hominids evolved throughout this epoch and by the end of the Pliocene, Homo habilus first appeared. They further believe that at the end of the Pliocene was also marked by the beginning of the Pleistocene ice ages. Evolutionists speculate that Sabre toothed cats first appeared in the Pliocene around 2.5 million years ago.
- The Pliocene or the Pliocene epoch is the second epoch of the Neogene, located between Miocene and Pleistocene. It began about 9.3 million years ago and ended 2 million years ago, lasting for about 7 million years.
- The Pliocene epoch (spelled Pleiocene in older texts) is the period in the geologic timescale that extends from 5.332 million to 1.806 million years before present. The Pliocene is the second epoch of the Neogene period in the Cenozoic era. The Pliocene follows the Miocene epoch and is followed by the Pleistocene epoch. The Pliocene was named by Sir Charles Lyell. The name comes from the Greek words πλεῖον (pleion, "more") and καινός (kainos, "new") and means roughly "continuation of the recent", referring to the essentially modern marine mollusc faunas.

| abstract | - The Pliocene epoch (spelled Pleiocene in some older texts) is the period in the geologic timescale that extends from 5.332 million to 1.806 million years before present. The Pliocene is the second epoch of the Neogene period of the Cenozoic era. The Pliocene follows the Miocene epoch and is followed by the Pleistocene epoch. The Pliocene was named by Sir Charles Lyell. The name comes from the Greek words pleion (more) and ceno (new) and means roughly "continuation of the recent" and refers to the essentially modern marine mollusc faunas. As with other older geologic periods, the geological strata that define the start and end are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain. The boundaries defining the onset of the Pliocene are not set at an easily identified worldwide event but rather at regional boundaries between the warmer Miocene and the relatively cooler Pliocene. The upper boundary was intended to be set at the start of the Pleistocene glaciations but is now considered to be set too late. Many geologists find the broader divisions into Paleogene and Neogene more useful. Astronomer Narciso Benítez of Johns Hopkins University and his team suggest that a supernova is a plausible but unproven candidate for the marine extinctions that characterize the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary, by causing a significant breakdown of the ozone layer.

The upper boundary was set at the start of the Pleistocene glaciations. A recent proposal for a revision in the geologic timescale has the Pleistocene beginning at 1.8 million years ago,[1] the proposal is however heavily disputed.
