65 to 1.8 million years ago. Therefore rocks from the tertiary era were formed between 65 million to 1.8 million years ago. The tertiary period is divided into five epochs: Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene. Thus for instance the Miocene belongs to the middle tertiary era. See also geological timescale

STP is commonly used to define standard conditions for temperature and pressure such as for gases which is defined by as air at 0oC (273.15 K, 32oF) and 1 atm

The calorific value of a fuel is the quantity of heat produced by its combustion – at constant pressure and under a conditions known as “normal” temperature and pressure (i.e. 0oC and under a pressure of 1,013 mbar). The combustion of a fuel product generates water vapor. The Lower Calorific Value supposes that the products of combustion contains the water vapor. The heat contained in the water vapor is not recovered. The Higher Calorific Value (or Gross Calorific Value – GCV) supposes that the water of combustion is entirely condensed and that the heat contained in the water vapor is recovered.
