251 million years ago was the time of the Permian Extinction, the single largest extinction of biological life in the history of Earth. Before the extinction the dominant animals were probably therapsids, mammal like animals that were either mammals or the ancestors of mammals.
During the time period known as the Triassic period, reptiles dominated the Earth. Particularly, archosaurs, which included early dinosaur ancestors and crocodile-like creatures, were common. This period also saw the rise of the first mammals and the proliferation of various marine life forms.

The Paleozoic Era lasted from 542 to 251 million years ago.
Paleozoic Era - 291 million years (542 - 251 Ma)Mesozoic Era - 185.5 million years (251 - 65.5 Ma)Carboniferous Period - 62.2 million years (359.2 - 299Ma)Jurassic Period - 54.1 million years (199.6 - 145.5 Ma)
According to the 2012 Geologic Time Scale the Permian Period of the Paleozoic Era lasted from about 298.9 million to 252.2 million years ago. It is the last (latest) period of the Paleozoic.
Permian-Triassic extinction, 251 MYA (million years ago) in the Paleozoic era.
They dominated the Earth for over 160 million years, from the late Triassic period (about 230 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous period (65 million years ago).
Pliosaurs lived from 251 to 65 million years ago
It is about 251 million years ago
251 million years ago
The Mesozoic Period (251 - 65 million years ago) lasted approximately 216 million years. It consisted of the Triassic Period (251 - 200 million years ago), the Jurassic Period (199-146 million years ago) and the Cretaceous Period (145 - 65 million years ago).
The Paleozoic Era lasted from 542 to 251 million years ago.
The Paleozoic Era began about 540 million years ago and ended about 245 million years ago. Therefore, it lasted about 290 million years. Sources: My Earth Science book and my great brain.
Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic refer to periods in Earth's history. The Paleozoic era began 542 million years ago and ended 251 million years ago. The Mesozoic era is the age of dinosaurs and was from 245 to 66 million years ago. The Cenozoic period began 65 million years ago and continues today.
