angiosperms
In the Mesozoic Era, during the cretaceous period
The most notable group of organisms that evolved at the beginning of the Cretaceous are the flowering plants, or angiosperms. Today, these are the majority of plants on Earth. All fruit bearing plants and grasses are angiosperms. At the same time as these evolved, new insects evolved that pollinated the flowers. Additionally, birds evolved either during the late Jurassic or the early Cretaceous.
Willow tree, a type of angiosperm
Angiosperms, or flowering plants, first appeared during the early Cretaceous period around 130 million years ago. This group of seed bearing plants diversified rapidly and became the dominant type of plant by the end of the Cretaceous period.
because it evolved in the Cretaceous
In the Cretaceous period.
There was a decline in many species of plants and animals and new forms evolved, ushering in the Cretaceous Period with flowering plants and hardwood trees, along with the first true birds.
The first flowering plant, also known as angiosperm, appeared during the early Cretaceous period, around 130 million years ago. This plant evolved from gymnosperms and quickly diversified to become the dominant form of plant life on Earth.
During that time there was widespread volcanic activinty and trees and flowering plants started appearing
Flowering plants first appeared around 140 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. They rapidly diversified and became the dominant group of plants, replacing many of the existing groups at the time.
The earliest known flowering plants date to the early Cretaceous period, around 140 million years ago. This period marked the rapid diversification and evolution of flowering plants.
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.
