Meghalayan

The Meghalayan age is the current age or latest geologic age – or uppermost stage of the Quaternary. It was given the name in 2018, by the International Commission on Stratigraphy. It is also the upper, or latest, of three subdivisions of the Holocene epoch or series. This way of breaking down time is based only on geology; for example, it is unrelated to the three-age system of historical periods into which human development is sometimes divided.
