AI overview
The Cretaceous is a geological period that lasted approximately 77 million years, ending about 66 million years ago, and represents the final and longest period of the Mesozoic Era. It gets its name from the abundant chalk deposits found in rocks from the latter part of this time span, and it is the longest geological period in the entire Phanerozoic Eon.
