What is the most recent period in the mesozic era?

The most recent period in the Mesozoic Era is the Cretaceous Period, which lasted from approximately 145 to 66 million years ago. It is characterized by the dominance of dinosaurs, the appearance of flowering plants, and significant geological changes, including the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea. The Cretaceous ended with a mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, which led to the extinction of many species, including the dinosaurs.


What occurred in the Triassic period?

1st mammals & dinosaurs


Did the dinosaurs extinct at once?

No, not all at once. Throughout the 150 million year "reign" of the dinosaurs, all kinds of groups of dinosaurs have flourished then died out. Dinosaurs living in the Triassic Period were not the same as dinosaurs living in the Cretaceous period. However, the final blow to the dinosaurs that caused them all to die out was the K-T mass extinction that occurred 65 million years ago.


When was the dinosaurs around?

Non avian dinosaurs appeared during the Carnian stage of the Triassic period about 220 million years ago. They diversified in the Jurassic and even more in the Cretaceous, but they died out 65.5 million years ago. All non avian dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic era, but birds, which are a group of dinosaurs, continue to exist today.


What dangerous dinosaurs were there in the Jurassic time period?

Some dangerous dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic period include Allosaurus, a large predatory theropod dinosaur, as well as Ceratosaurus, Dilophosaurus, and Torvosaurus. These dinosaurs were apex predators and hunted other animals for food.

They did not disappear but instead they died and it might be because event was caused by climate and geological changes that interrupted the dinosaurs' food supply.


What is a trassic period?

The Triassic Period is a geological time period that occurred from about 251 to 201 million years ago. It followed the Permian Period and preceded the Jurassic Period in the Mesozoic Era. The Triassic Period saw the diversification of early reptiles and the rise of dinosaurs.

Why did some dinosaurs died because of the meteor but some dinosaurs don't?

most dinosaurs died of the meteor but a couple of periods before the cretacious period there was the permian period in which 95% of all life died as all the volcanoes erupted and shot up gas (methane) and killed them. a crocodile/ aligator is a dinosaur, 1 of the remaining dinosaurs alive as all did not die.


In what period did the dinosaurs become exstinct?

The dinosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago. That was the very end of the Maastrichtian stage, which was the last stage of the Cretaceous time period. The Cretaceous was the last period of the Mesozoic era.


What period had dinosaurs but no plants?

Plants evolved before dinosaurs, and dinosaurs depended on plants for food. The closest there came to "no plants" during the time of the dinosaurs was the mass extinction at the end, when plants died but left seeds behind that germinated when the dust thrown into the atmosphere by an asteroid impact settled and sunlight reached the surface. During that period of months or a few years without live plants, dinosaurs starved and died out.
