What else can I help you with?
During which period the dinosaurs disappeared on the Earth?
The Cretaceous / Tertiary boundary (KT) occurred 65 million years ago and extinctions of most dinosaurs was probably due to a meteorite impact in the Yucutan peninsular of Mexico known as the Chixulub crater.
What is the middle period of the age of dinosaurs?
The earliest period that dinosaurs existed was the Triassic period, some 225 million years ago. These were not the huge dinosaurs of the later period. Most dinosaurs of that age were small creatures that ate meat and walked on hind legs. Shaaron
In which era did dinosaurs appear and die out?
The fossil records for dinosaurs end during the late Cretaceous period. This means that their numbers dwindled so low as to not leave fossil evidence. Their true extinction most like followed quickly. This is picky, I admit, but since you asked what ERA ended the dinosaurs, I suppose you should have the answer. They died out at the end of the Mesozoic Era (which was, as noted above, also the end of the Cretaceous Period). However, many scientists no classify birds as dinosaurs, in which case they never fully became extinct.
All Dinosaurs died by the end of the?
Most of them died by the Cretaceous period. Those that survived evolved into some of the creatures we see today.
In which era did the dinosaurs exist?
Mesozoic but it was split into 3- Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. Dinosaurs lived from the late Triassic Period, Jurassic Period and Cretacious Period. Dinosaurs died in the Late Cretacious Period 65 Million Years Ago
What made the cretaceous period end?
The Cretaceous period ended as the result of a mass extinction event, probably resulting from an asteroid impact. This wiped out 65 percent of life on earth, including the ammonites, the plesiosaurs, the pterosaurs, and, most famously, the dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs and angiosperms were the most visibly dominant lineages during which 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.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Dinosaurs_and_angiosperms_were_dominant_lineages_during_with_geologic_era#ixzz1G5bqBpQR
What is cretaceous carnivore?
There were many carnivores in the cretaceous, including a number of dinosaurs and the first snakes. The most famous carnivore of the Cretaceous and perhaps the most famous of all extinct animals, was the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex.
Did dinosaurs live in the Pleistocene period?
Most paleontologists count birds as dinosaurs, so in that sense, yes as there were Pleistocene birds. Other than birds, no. All non-avian dinosaurs died out at the end of the Cretaceous period more than 60 million years before the beginning of the Pleistocene.
When did dinosaurs?
Non-avian dinosaurs existed from around 230 million years ago in the Triassic period until the end of the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago. The cause of their extinction is most likely an asteroid impact coupled with environmental change.
When did the dinosaur died?
Dinosaurs lived and died throughout the triassic, Jurassic, and cretaceous. Most of the really big herbivorous dinosaurs were Jurassic behemoths. All of the dinosaurs disappeared at the end of the cretaceous, about 65 million years ago.
When is the time period when dinosaurs existed?
They evolved in the Triassic and mainly spreadout to dominate the Erath in the Jurassic most people will say this is the golden age of the dinosaurs, however I'd say the early-mid creataceous is, it's when all the weird species came
