The Pleistocene epoch is commonly used as a synonym for the Ice Age, as it was a geological period characterized by repeated glacial cycles that occurred between 2.6 million and 11,700 years ago. The Pennsylvanian period, Miocene epoch, and Mesozoic era are all different geological time periods that occurred before or after the Pleistocene epoch, and are not typically associated with the Ice Age.
