∙ 13y agoThe Cretaceous period began 144 million years ago and ended 65 million years ago. It was preceded by the Jurassic period, and it ended at the Cretaceous Tertiary (KT) event. The cause of the KT event is believed to have been an asteroid impact off the coast of Chicxulub, Mexico, although there has been debate about the effect of the massive volcanic eruptions at the Deccan Fields in India at approximately the same time.
