CRETACEOUS PERIOD |
The Cretaceous Period signaled the dominance of angiosperms. Though angiosperms evolved in the late Jurassic Period, their dominance really began in the Cretaceous Period.
(Calycanthus)
Angiosperms like magnolias, laurel, barberry, early sycamores, and palms took over everything due to their better veining and therefore photosynthesis. Grasses, originally thought to have evolved in the Eocene Epoch, also evolved in the Cretaceous.
