What era was the ice age in?
Mesozoic era
What lived in the mesozoic era?
A whole host of non-dinosaurian animals lived during the Mesozoic, including insects, cephalopods such as belemnites and ammonites, mammals (including extinct orders such as the multituberculates), many types of reptiles (snakes evolved during the Mesozoic, and marine reptiles such as the plesiosaurs, pliosaurs, ichthyosaurs and mosasaurs lived as well, in the air there were pterosaurs) and amphibians (including the last of the temnospondyls such as Koolasuchus). The Mesozoic boasted great diversity in the animal kingdom, comparable to the present day.
During which geologic era did Pangaea break up?
Pangaea was present during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Its formation is dated to about 300 million years ago and its breakup began about 100 million years ago. The break-up of Pangaea is thought to have occurred in three phases, with the first beginning in the Early-Middle Jurassic Age. The second phase began in the Early Cretaceous Period and the third during the Early Cenozoic Period.
What do the terms Paleozoic Mesozoic and Cenozoic mean?
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.
What is the era after the Mesozoic?
After the Jurassic era came the mesozoic era.The Mesozoic Era is a period from about 250 million years ago to about 67 million years ago. It is called the Age of Dinosaursbecause most dinosaurs developed, and went extinct, during that time. The Chicxulub impact and other events ended the era when a majority of species on earth went extinct.It is one of three geologic eras of the Phanerozoic eon. The division of time into eras dates back to Giovanni Arduino, in the 18th century, although his original name for the era now called the "Mesozoic" was "Secondary" (making everything after, including the modern era, the "Tertiary"; the current term Quaternary was later proposed for the modern era, following the same numbering principle). Lying between the Paleozoic and the Cenozoic, "Mesozoic" means "middle life", deriving from the Greek prefixmeso-/μεσο- for "between" and zoon/ζωον meaning "animal" or "living being". It is often called the "Age of the Reptiles", after the dominant fauna of the era.The Mesozoic was a time of tectonic, climatic and evolutionaryactivity. The continents gradually shifted from a state of connectedness into their present configuration; the drifting provided for speciation and other important evolutionary developments. The climate was exceptionally warm throughout the period, also playing an important role in the evolution and diversification of new animal species. By the end of the era, the basis of modern life was in place.
The Age of Reptiles occurred during the Era?

How many periods of time is there during the dinosaur age?
The dinosaur age is known as the Mesozoic era. It is divided into three periods, the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Each of those is further divided into stages. There are a total of 29 stages in the Mesozoic.
What type of animal lived only during mesozoic era?
The type of animal that lived only during the Mesozoic Era (Age of Reptiles) were the dinosaurs. They evolved during the late Triassic and the Jurassic periods, and were the largest land creatures during the Cretaceous period of the era.
