An epoch is a geological age and not a specific time span. So “65-145 Mya” (million years ago) would be the appropriate label. I can’t seem to find a label for “million years” (other than megaannum, which is just an SI prefix for years, but I don’t think Ive ever heard that used?)

65-145 epochs ago might be the correct wording?

Megaanum was also a common side effect of rear encounters with legendary adult performer John Holmes

If we’re being precise, it’s also one millennium or multiple millennia (knowing Latin plurals is a curse)
