白垩纪英语:Cretaceous)是地质年代中中生代的最后一个纪,长达8000万年,是显生宙的最长一个阶段。白垩纪因欧洲西部该年代的地层主要为白垩沉积而得名。白垩纪位于侏罗纪和古近纪之间,约1亿4550万年(误差值为400万年)前至6550万年前(误差值为30万年)。发生在白垩纪末的灭绝事件,是中生代与新生代的分界。

白垩纪的气候相当暖和,海平面的变化大。陆地生存着恐龙,海洋生存着海生爬行动物、菊石、以及厚壳蛤。新的哺乳类、鸟类出现,开花植物也首次出现。白垩纪-第三纪灭绝事件是地质年代中最严重的大规模灭绝事件之一,包含恐龙在内的大部分物种灭亡。

Cretaceous 白垩纪

Drawing of fossil jaws of Mosasaurus hoffmanni, from the Maastrichtian of Dutch Limburg, by Dutch geologist Pieter Harting (1866).
Geography of the Contiguous US in the late Cretaceous period
Although the first representatives of leafy trees and true grasses emerged in the Cretaceous, the flora was still dominated by conifers like Araucaria (Here: Modern Araucaria araucana in Chile).

The Cretaceous (pronunciation: /krˈtʃəs/, krə-TAY-shəs), derived from the Latin "creta" (chalk), usually abbreviated K for its German translation Kreide (chalk), is a geologic period and system from 145 ± 4 to 66 million years (Ma) ago. 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.
