first period of metatherian diversification occurred in the late Cretaceous. The K-T mass extinction created an ecological void in which mammalian radiation occurred in the Palaeocene. With South America isolated from North America throughout the Tertiary‚ there was the second great period of metatherian diversification and there were numerous examples of placental and marsupial convergence.

large numbers of species have become extinct (Urry et al. 2008). There have been five major extinctions documented based on fossil records over the past 500 million years‚ but the Cretaceous (KT boundary extinction – a name that meant it began the Tertiary era) extinction caught a lot of attention (Elewa et al 2009). This event extinguished more than half of all marine species and eliminated many families of land (terrestrial) plants and animals‚ including most of the dinosaurs. Finding out how this
