Cretaceous Period. The Cretaceous period began at the end of the Jurassic period approximately 144 million years ago and extended longer than any period (79 ma) to approximately 65 million years ago. The word Cretaceous comes from the word for chalk and the geological remains do indeed contain heightened chalk deposits.
In the geologic timescale, the Cretaceous follows the Jurassic Period and is followed by the Paleogene Period of the Cenozoic Era. It is the last period of the Mesozoic Era, and, spanning 79 million years, the longest period of the Phanerozoic Eon.here was a progressive decline in biodiversity during the Maastrichtian stage of the Cretaceous period prior to the suggested ecological crisis induced by events at the KâPg boundary (KâT boundary).
