What else can I help you with?
Was era or period longer?
On the geologic time scale, an era is longer than a period. There are 12 geologic eras in total and they are composed of geologic periods. For instance, the Mesozoic era is composed of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
The Cretaceous period was a part of what era?
It was part of the Mesozoic Era.
Toothed birds lived in which Period of geologic time?
Toothed birds lived in the Mesozoic Era during the Cretaceous Period, specifically in the Late Cretaceous. They were among some of the earliest birds that evolved before losing their teeth as part of their adaptation for flight.
What period was after the cretaceous?
The Paleogene Period followed the Cretaceous.
Is A geologic era is a shorter unit of time than a geologic period?
No, a geologic era is a longer unit of time than a geologic period. Geologic eras are divided into periods, which are further subdivided into epochs. The hierarchy from largest to smallest is era, period, epoch.
After precambrian time what are the two basic divisions of the geologic time scale?
The two basic divisions following the Precambrian on the geologic time scale are the Paleozoic Era and the Mesozoic Era. These eras are further divided into periods, such as the Cambrian, Devonian, and Permian in the Paleozoic Era, and the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous in the Mesozoic Era.
The Cretaceous period was a part of this era.?
mesozoic
Which era follows the end of the Cretaceous period?
Mesozoic Era
What age comes after the cretaceous period?
The Paleocene, which is the first (oldest) part of the Cenozoic Era, as the Cretaceous was the last of the Mesozoic Era.
In what geologic time period did the Triassic Jurrassic and Cretaceous occur?
That is easy, the first is precambrian time, next you get the paleozoic era, which has Cambrian, ordovician, silurian, denovonian, carbonferious periods, Next you get the mesozoic era which contains the next three, which are triassic, jurrasic, and cretacous periods. Lasty you get the Cenozoic era which contains the last two which are the tertiary, and the quaternary!
Dinosaurs and angiosperms were dominant lineages during with geologic era?
I know that the angiosperms were most dominant during the cretaceous period but im not too sure about the dinosaurs dominant era. I would assume they were both dominant in the same era but I am not 100% sure.
What period did the spinosaurus live in?
Spinosaurus fossils have been found in Morocco and Egypt, and they date to between 112 and 97 million years ago. This was during the Albian and Cenemonian stages of the Cretaceous period, which was the third and final period of the Mesozoic era.
