This mass extinction is known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event. The Cretaceous was the last period of the Mesozoic Era which is when dinosaurs lived from about 250 to 65 mya and the Paleogene is the first period of the Cenozoic Era that started about 65 mya which is the Era that we are currently living in. So the extinction event marked the end of the Cretaceous

Rise of the Animals: Triumph of the Vertebrates The new frontier for fossil discoveries is China. Here Scientist are able to take evidence for evolutionary theories. The fossil record contains many well-documented examples of the transition from one species into another‚ as well as the origin of new physical features. Evidence from the fossil record is unique‚ because it provides a time perspective for understanding the evolution of life on Earth. David Attenborough embarks on an epic 500-million-year
