Cretaceous

Period of geological time approximately 143–65 million years ago. It is the last period of the Mesozoic era, during which angiosperm (seed-bearing) plants evolved, and dinosaurs reached a peak. The end of the Cretaceous period is marked by a mass extinction of many lifeforms, most notably the dinosaurs. The north European chalk, which forms the white cliffs of Dover, was deposited during the latter half of the Cretaceous, hence the name Cretaceous, which comes from the Latin creta, ‘chalk’.
