Late Cretaceous

The Final Chapter of the Dinosaur Age

The Late Cretaceous period, spanning from about 100 to 66 million years ago, was the final chapter of the Age of Dinosaurs.

During this time, the world was filled with diverse and astonishing life forms, from mighty dinosaurs to early flowering plants. Iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Velociraptor roamed the land, while the skies were ruled by flying reptiles like Pteranodon.

The continents were shifting closer to their modern positions, creating a variety of habitats including lush forests, swamps, and coastal areas.

This period also saw the rise of new plants and the evolution of mammals that would eventually inherit the Earth.

Unfortunately, the Late Cretaceous ended with a massive asteroid impact that led to the extinction of most dinosaur species.

Imagine a vibrant world teeming with life, only to face a sudden and dramatic end, paving the way for the rise of mammals and the modern world we know today.
