Picture yourself standing among the various dinosaurs 252 million years ago, when hurtling from the sky a massive meteorite colliding into the earth resulting in one of the largest mass extinction to come, commonly referred to as the Permian-Triassic extinction, in Earth’s history shifting Earth into a new era: The Mesozoic Era. Commonly referred to as “Age of Reptiles” due to the fact that reptiles predominated the lands, however they were not alone; land-dwelling vertebrate animals and vast amount of plants, insects and fish also existed among them. By the timespan of 180 million years the Mesozoic Era has been divided into three major divisions, from oldest to youngest, Triassic Period, the Jurassic Period, and the Cretaceous Period.
