The most recent and debatably best-known, the CretaceousâPaleogene extinction event, which occurred approximately 66 million years ago (Ma), was a large-scale mass extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time.
The Cretaceous also saw the first radiation of the diatoms in the oceans (freshwater diatoms did not appear until the Miocene). The Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction The most famous, if not the largest, of all mass extinctions marks the end of the Cretaceous Period, 65 million years ago. As everyone knows, this was the great extinction in which the dinosaurs died out.
