The Mesozic Era took place 251 to 65.5 million years ago (Mya) . It is separated into three geologic periods. From the oldest to the youngest,

Triassic (251.0 Mya to 199.6 Mya)

Jurassic (199.6 Mya to 145.5 Mya)

Cretaceous (145.5 Mya to 65.5 Mya)

The Mesozoic was a time of tectonic, climatic and evolutionary activity. 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 Mesazoic era began with the triassic period 248 million years ago, and finishing at the end of the cretaceous period 65 million years ago, with the Jurassic period in between.
