The Cretaceous Period is the last period of the Mesozoic Era, dating from 140 million years ago to 65 million years ago.
Dinosaur Status: The Cretaceous Period is considered the "peak stage" of the dinosaur era. The variety of dinosaurs during this period was greater than in any other time. However, it was also during this period that dinosaurs gradually declined and became extinct, while mammals and birds emerged as new animal groups.
Climate: The climate during the Cretaceous Period was relatively warm, with abundant rainfall and moist conditions in most regions. Dinosaurs and palm trees were found in what is now the Arctic Circle, Antarctica, and southern Australia.
Continents: During the Cretaceous Period, the rift between South America and Africa rapidly opened, forming the South Atlantic. At this time, North America was still connected to Europe, and Australia remained part of Antarctica.
