    The Mesozoic Era spanned from 252 to 66 million years ago and included three periods: the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. During this time, Pangea began to break apart and dinosaurs and marine reptiles flourished. The climate was warm and humid, allowing plants like ferns and conifers to thrive. Towards the end of the Cretaceous period, a large meteorite impact caused a mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs and many other species.
