There were major asteroid impacts.
Scientists believe the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, or the plants dying at the end of the Mesozoic Era, was caused by a massive asteroid/comet impact. The theory suggests that the impact had catastrophic effects on the environment, including an impact winter, which prevented the plants from carrying out photosynthesis.

Statistical analysis of the fossil records indicates that somewhere around 35% of all species disappeared at the end of the Cretaceous Era (there is considerable margin for error in that figure).
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.
Basically, a lot of species began to evolve. Unfortunetly, a mass extinction took place near the end of the era and destroyed as much as 95% of the ocean life.

Mass extinction
The Mesozoic era was tropical and the Paleozoic was dry.
The Paleozoic era was from 540 million years ago to about 245 million years ago. After that came the Mesozoic era, and that lasted from the end of the Paleozoic to 65 million years ago, when the earth entered the Cenozoic era.
That would be 251 million years ago. The end of the Paleozoic era marks the beginning of the Mesozoic. The last period of the Paleozoic era was the Permian, and the first period of the Mesozoic era was the Triassic; hence the extinction event (the biggest extinction event in the earth's history), the Permian-Triassic extinction, which defines the border between the eras.
The Eras go like this: Precambrian Era Paleozoic Era Mesozoic Era Cenozoic Era Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, and we live in the Cenozoic Era. Paleozoic means "ancient life" Mesozoic means "middle life" Cenozoic means "recent life" All eras end in a huge disaster
A large mass extinction took place at the end
At the end of the Paleozoic Era all the plates combined together to form a supercontinent called Pangea.
Apparently, and with evidence, these were periods of global catastrophes (for life-forms) where massive numbers of organisms went extinct.
