During the Mesozoic Era, flowering plants (angiosperms) were not yet common, as they emerged later in the era, around the Late Cretaceous. Additionally, many modern plant families, such as those found in tropical rainforests, were also absent or not fully developed during this time. Instead, the Mesozoic landscape was dominated by ferns, cycads, ginkgoes, and conifers.
Events during the Mesozoic include the increasing dominance of dinosaurs. The Mesozoic is marked by the appearance of flowering plants.
Dinosaurs were the most successful group of animals during the Mesozoic era, dominating terrestrial ecosystems for millions of years. They evolved into a diverse range of shapes and sizes and were the top predators in many environments. The Mesozoic era also saw the rise of flowering plants and the expansion of marine reptiles.

In the Mesozoic Era, during the cretaceous period
Mesozoic Era, which began 245 million years ago and lasted for 180 million years, and was divided into three periods1. Triassic2. Jurassic3. Cretaceous
There were actually three types of plants that evolved in the Mesozoic. Cycads and ginkgos evolved around the late Triassic and early Jurassic. The firsts flowering plants appear in the fossil record during the early Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era.

Flowering plants arrived in the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era.
