a. Mesozoic
The Mesozoic Era saw the dominance of reptiles. This era, often referred to as the "Age of Reptiles," spanned from approximately 252 to 66 million years ago. It is divided into three major periods: the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. During this time, reptiles, including dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles, were the dominant land vertebrates. The Mesozoic Era ended with the mass extinction event that also led to the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs.
