The Cretaceous Period was the 3rd geological period in the Mesozoic Era. The end of the period would see the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs as well as all the large marine reptiles, pterosaurs as well many other species of animals and plants.

It lasted from 145.5 to 65.5 million years ago. It was the time between 2 extinction events, the smaller End Triassic Extinction event and the larger K-T Exinction event.
