An era is a span of time, so there was no era at that time. It was, however, the end of one era and the beginning of another. More specifically it was the end of the Mesozoic and the beginning of the Cenozoic.
The Mesozoic Period (251 - 65 million years ago) lasted approximately 216 million years. It consisted of the Triassic Period (251 - 200 million years ago), the Jurassic Period (199-146 million years ago) and the Cretaceous Period (145 - 65 million years ago).
Precambrian
The Paleozoic Era began about 540 million years ago and ended about 245 million years ago. Therefore, it lasted about 290 million years. Sources: My Earth Science book and my great brain.
The Paleozoic Era spans six geologic time periods. The first was Cambrian and is the name given to a period of time in Earth's history, which spanned 570-510 million years ago. The Permian Period, which was the last period covers the time roughly 286 million years ago.
The Permian was the last period of the Paleozoic Era, spanning 299-351 million years ago. It was a time during which reptiles diversified. It ended with the Permian-Triassic extinction event, the largest mass extinction in Earth's history.
The five mass extinctions that occurred in Earth's history took place during the Ordovician period (about 445 million years ago), the Devonian period (about 375 million years ago), the Permian period (about 251 million years ago), the Triassic period (about 200 million years ago), and the Cretaceous period (about 66 million years ago).
The Triassic Period occurred before the Jurassic Period. The Triassic Period lasted from about 251 million to 201 million years ago, while the Jurassic Period followed, lasting from about 201 million to 145 million years ago.
251 million years ago
Paleozoic Era - 291 million years (542 - 251 Ma)Mesozoic Era - 185.5 million years (251 - 65.5 Ma)Carboniferous Period - 62.2 million years (359.2 - 299Ma)Jurassic Period - 54.1 million years (199.6 - 145.5 Ma)
The Mesozoic Period (251 - 65 million years ago) lasted approximately 216 million years. It consisted of the Triassic Period (251 - 200 million years ago), the Jurassic Period (199-146 million years ago) and the Cretaceous Period (145 - 65 million years ago).
At the end of the Permian Period which was about 251 million years ago
No the Cambrian Period came before the Jurassic Period.Periods in the Paleozoic Era (542 - 251 Ma) and the Mesozoic Era (251 - 65.5 Ma)Cambrian (542 - 488.3 Ma)Ordivician (488.3 - 443.7 Ma)Silurian (443.7 - 416 Ma)Devonian (416 - 359.2 Ma)Carboniferous (359.2 - 299 Ma)Permian (299 - 251 Ma)Triassic (251 - 199.6 Ma)Jurrasic (199.6 - 145.5 Ma)Cretaceous (145.5 - 65.5 Ma)
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.
The Triassic was from about 225 million to 190 million years ago. It is the first period of the Mesozoic ("middle life") Era.The Triassic Period is most commonly believed to have begun 251 million years ago and lasted until 199.6 million years ago.
Permian Period was from 299 million years ago to 250 million years ago
The Triassic period came before the Jurassic period in geologic time. The Triassic period lasted from around 251 million to 201 million years ago, followed by the Jurassic period, which lasted from around 201 million to 145 million years ago.
The Age of the Invertebrates, also known as the Paleozoic Era, occurred approximately 542-251 million years ago. This era was characterized by the dominance and diversity of invertebrate animals, with significant evolution and diversification of marine life during this time.
