Also known as Age of Reptiles, Age of Conifers, Mesozoic Era, Mesozoic Erathem

zweite Ära des Phanerozoikums

AI overview

The Mesozoic Era is a major division of Earth's history that includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods and is famous as the age of dinosaurs and other large reptiles, along with specific plant types, a hot climate, and the breaking apart of the supercontinent Pangaea. It matters because it represents the middle chapter of complex life on Earth, falling between the Paleozoic and Cenozoic Eras, and shows how dramatically our planet's life forms and geography have changed over deep time.

Das Mesozoikum (von altgriechisch μέσος mésos ‚mittlerer‘, ‚mitten‘, und ζῶ zo ‚leben‘), auch Erdmittelalter oder Erdmittelzeit, ist eine geologische Ära, die vor etwa 251,9 Millionen Jahren begann und vor etwa 66 Millionen Jahren endete. Es wird in Trias, Jura und Kreide gegliedert. Das Mesozoikum ist innerhalb der Erdgeschichte der mittlere Zeitabschnitt des Phanerozoikums. In diesem Äon folgt das Mesozoikum auf das Paläozoikum (Erdaltertum) und wird vom Känozoikum (Erdneuzeit) abgelöst.
