There were major asteroid impacts.
Two major eras that ended with mass extinctions are the Permian-Triassic extinction event, which marked the end of the Permian period, and the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which marked the end of the Cretaceous period. These events had profound impacts on life on Earth, leading to the loss of a significant number of species.
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.

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 oldest period in the Mesozoic Era is the Triassic period, lasting from about 251 to 201 million years ago. It followed the Permian mass extinction and saw the early diversification of dinosaurs, as well as the first appearance of mammals and birds.

Mass extinction
The permian period was the end of the paleozoic era.
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.
The supercontinent that formed at the end of the Paleozoic era is known as Pangaea. Pangaea began to break apart during the Mesozoic era, ultimately leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today.
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.
Two major eras that ended with mass extinctions are the Permian-Triassic extinction event, which marked the end of the Permian period, and the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which marked the end of the Cretaceous period. These events had profound impacts on life on Earth, leading to the loss of a significant number of species.
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
That was Pangea (from the Greek for Entire Earth). It was surrounded by Panthallasa (Greek for Entire Sea).
