===Cretaceous Period===
*'''145 to 66 million years ago'''
The last period of the Dinosaurs, but by no means a low point for them. Indeed they reached new heights. Small agile Dromaeosaurid Raptors show up along herds of Hadrosaurs and dead 'ard ankylosaurs. And who could forget the motherfucking T-Rex. Sauropods were a bit less common, but a few huge examples like Alamosaurus were still large and (in their niche) in charge.

This is also when flowering plants begin to emerge, which would come to dominate the Cretaceous landscape. Also when fruit started to show up.

Famously ends with the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event when a 10km long asteroid crashed into what's now the Yucatan Peninsula, causing a perfect storm of hitting the wrong place at the wrong time (as the impact coincided with yet another flood basalt and hit an area rich in sulfur, the climate damage got a ''lot'' worse than if it was just the impact debris alone). Needless to say, [[Exterminatus|the Dinosaurs did not survive]], except for the birds.
