ZANCLEAN
(Redirected from Early Pliocene)
In the geologic time scale, the 'Zanclean' (also known as 'Tabianian', 'Dacian') is a stage which makes up the 'Early Pliocene' or 'Lower Pliocene' subepoch. It spans the time between 5.332 ± 0.005 Ma and 3.6 ± 0.005 Ma (million years ago). It is preceded by the Messinian stage of the Miocene epoch, and followed by the Piacenzian stage of the Late Pliocene.
Generally in North America, the Zanclean corresponds to late Hemphillian to mid-Blancan stages. In California, the Zanclean roughly corresponds to the mid-Delmontian.
In the Transformers series, it is said that the Transformers crash landed four million years prior to the year 1984 AD, or 3998016 BC.
