The earlier of the two epochs of the Quaternary Period,
from about 2 million to 10,000 years ago.

Mammals included both small forms,

and giant ones, such as mammoths and mastodons.

and massive wombats disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene

Common Errors In English Usage Dictionary
Recent & resent
There are actually three words to distinguish here.
“Recent,” always pronounced with an unvoiced hissy S
and with the accent on the first syllable, means “not long ago,”
as in, “I appreciated your recentencouragement.”
“Resent” has two different meanings
with two different pronunciations,
both with the accent on the secondsyllable.
In the most common case, where “resent” means “feel bad about,”
the word is pronounced with a voiced Z sound:
“I resent your implication that I gave you the chocolates only because I was hoping you’d share them with me.”
In the less common case, the word means “tosend again,”
and is pronounced with an unvoiced hissy S sound:
“The e-mail message bounced, so I resent it.”
So, say the intended word aloud.
If the accent is on the second syllable,
“resent” is the spelling you need.
