Mesozoic era – Geological and biological evolution and extinction of dinosaurs GEO GIRL

Major events of the Mesozoic era (251 million years ago – 65 mya) – Paleogeography, breakup of the supercontinent of Pangea, Laurasia and Gondwana, orogeny of the Cordillera (Nevadan, Sevier, Laramide, shallow subduction angle , interior deformation), epieiric seas (Absaroka Sea, Zuni Sea, Sundance Sea, Cretaceous Interior Seaway, chalk) biological evolution / paleontology (molluscs, gastropods, bivalves, rudists, rudist reefs, ammonites, belemnites, corals , echinoids, coccolithophores, insects, termite mounds, Paleozoic fossil indexes, evolution of dinosaurs, first birds, Archaeopteryx, first mammals, rodents, cetaceans, dolphins, whales, marine reptiles, plants) and the Cretaceous Tertiary extinction (KT extinction, extinction of the dinosaurs).
