Which era ended with a mass extinction?
Permian period
What mass extinction ended the Cenozoic Era?
Probably the most recognized mass extinction in the history of the Earth is called the K-T Extinction. This mass extinction event happened between the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era and the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era. This was the mass extinction that took out the dinosaurs.
What animals died during the Cenozoic Era?
Nektonic ammonites, squidlike belemnites, sessile reef-building mollusks known as rudistids, and most microscopic plankton also died out at this time. The Cenozoic witnessed a rapid diversification of life-forms in the ecological niches left vacant by this great terminal Cretaceous extinction (or K–T extinction).

What is Modern Age history?

What royal era do we live in?
There already is an Elizabethan era, it might be called the second Elizabethan era, or the Windsor era (house of Windsor). It will be good if it is, but perhaps unlikely. Too many changes over a period of 70 years will make identifying the period 1952 – 2026 (?) as ‘the Elizabethan era’ impracticable.
