In the Early and Late Cretaceous periods, changing geological and ecological conditions created opportunities for the expansion of dinosaurs. However, these same ecological changes also contributed to the eventual extinction of dinosaurs large and small. Last of the Dinosaurs: The Cretaceous Period explores the theories for what may have caused the mass extinction that ended the reign of the dinosaurs and many other terrestrial and marine creatures of the time. The non-dinosaurian reptiles of the Mesozoic era are also examined.
