Mesozoic is a geological era, referring to the era lasting from around 250 million years ago up til about 65 million years ago. It is also sometimes called the Age of Reptiles because dinosaurs were the main animal at the time. This particular era includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. Mesozoic basically translates as middle life, and is the era between the Paleozoic and Cenozoic eras of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Mesozoic era is centred between two mass extinctions, the Permian-Triassic event and the Cretaceous-Poleogene event. The Permian-Triassic event was the largest mass extinction in our world's history.
