Abstract

The Late Cretaceous, more precisely the Latest Cretaceous (Campanian and Maastrichtian), appears to be a key period in the history of terrestrial biotas. At that time, several groups that make up a substantial component in the recent biotas underwent a marked diversification (therian mammals, i.e. modern mammals, birds, squamate reptiles, and lissamphibians). Moreover, fossiliferous beds from that period have produced the last dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
