Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Sorry, but the time frame doesn't fit. Its between 66 and 145 millenia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous

Except a millennium ~~millenia~~ is a thousand years, not a million years.

~~65-145 epochs ago might be the correct wording?~~

"Mya" would be the correct term.

Edit: corrections from MBM, bisby.

If we're being precise, it's also one millennium or multiple millennia (knowing Latin plurals is a curse)
