In geology, the second epoch of the Quaternary period (8)
I believe the answer is:
holocene
(Other definitions for holocene that I've seen before include "Relating to a modern epoch" , "Current geological epoch; lone echo (anagram)" , "Relating to the present epoch" .)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
