The fossil era that occurred just before the current era, the Cenozoic Era, is the Mesozoic Era. The Mesozoic, often referred to as the "Age of Reptiles," lasted from about 252 to 66 million years ago and is characterized by the dominance of dinosaurs and the emergence of mammals and birds. It ended with a mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, which paved the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic Era.
Common Era or Current Era, abbreviated CE, is a calendar era that is often used as an alternative naming of the Anno Domini era ("in the year of the Lord"), abbreviated AD. The system uses BCE as an abbreviation for "before the Common (or Current) Era" and CE as an abbreviation for "Common Era". As of 2016, it started 2016 years ago.
