Neogene also marked the end of the reptilian genera Langstonia and Barinasuchus, terrestrial predators that were the last surviving members of Sebecosuchia, a group related to crocodiles. The oceans were dominated by large carnivores like megalodons and livyatans, and 19 million years ago about 70% of all pelagic shark species disappeared. [21]

Neogene reevei is a moth of the family Sphingidae first described by Herbert Druce in 1882. [1] It is known from Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. [2] It is similar to Neogene dynaeus. The hindwing upperside disc is more shaded with brown in the female than in the male, where the colour is mainly restricted to the veins.
The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. [24] They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs. [25] [26]
Balaenoptera comprises all but two of the extant species in its family (the humpback whale and gray whale); the genus is currently polyphyletic, with the two aforementioned species being phylogenetically nested within it. [3] This genus is known in the fossil records from the Neogene to the Quaternary (13.65 million years ago to the present). [4]
This category contains events which happened in the Neogene, a division of the geologic time scale.
The genus Plesiocetus was originally coined for three mysticete species from Neogene marine deposits in the vicinity of Antwerp, Belgium: P. garopii, P. hupschii, and P. burtinii. [1] The three originally included species of Plesiocetus went about their separate ways.
