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.

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!
What was the period 65 million years ago?
The cretaceous period!!! First it was the Triassic period about 200-250 million yrs ago then it was the Jurassic Period and then about 135 million yrs ago the cretaceous period started and then it ended about 65 million yrs ago. This was the period when the t-rex was alive along with ankylosaurus, velociraptor, triceratops and iguanodon. Hope this helpsss!!! from Megggannn
