1 Cenozoic Life Age of Flowers & Mammals

2 Oceans Similar to Mesozoic… …with new predators

3 Sharks Diversify: Megalodon

4

5 Birds: Diatryma phororhachids Diatrymidae

6 Titanis & Hipparian

7 Birds Move to the Water

8 Angiosperm Diversification

9 The Oligocene Rise of Grass

10 Herbs & Weeds

11 Grasses/Herbs led to coevolution of: 1.Grazers - modifications to: 1.Teeth 2.Four-chambered stomach 3.Shape of the Head 4.Legs - faster runners (hooved animals) 2.Predators - adapted to hunting in the open (speed) 3.Rodents and Songbirds - grain eaters 4.Snakes - predators adapted to hunting in burrows
