Sorry, but the time frame doesn’t fit. Its between 66 and 145 millenia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous
Its not from the Cretaceous, it’s from the Crustaceous
Except a millennium
milleniais 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)
An epoch is a geological age and not a specific time span. So “65-145 Mya” (million years ago) would be the appropriate label. I can’t seem to find a label for “million years” (other than megaannum, which is just an SI prefix for years, but I don’t think Ive ever heard that used?)
You’re right — the first result I stumbled upon was the Simple wikipedia result which erroneously calls an epoch 1,000,000 years ( simple wiki link ).
Megaanum was also a common side effect of rear encounters with legendary adult performer John Holmes
Crustaceous*
Millenia is thousands,
epoch“Mya” is million years ago.But as my stat mech professor once said, “what’s a few orders of magnitude between friends?”
Edit: thanks to bisby, MBM.
Keep digging, you’re close to finding Seymour!

Fun fact: the Crustaceous Period was from 1996 to 2001. Fast-fossilising flour was a pretty bad idea in hindsight…
Crustalicious period.
Why… Why are you touching that, oh gross
Finally a pizza that’s all crust.
Mmmm authentic dinosaur sausage
