Cretaceous Period and Dinosaurs

The video discusses the Cretaceous period, the last period of the Mesozoic era, lasting from 145 to 65 million years ago. It highlights the dinosaurs like Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, and Velociraptor, and the emergence of flowering plants called angiosperms. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangea led to increased diversity. The period ended with a mass extinction that wiped out land-dwelling dinosaurs, but birds, mammals, and angiosperms survived.
