==60:2. THE LATER REPTILIAN AGE==     

60:2.1 120,000,000 years ago a new [[phase]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_60#60:1._THE_EARLY_REPTILIAN_AGE reptilian age] began. The great [[event]] of this period was the [[evolution]] and decline of the [[dinosaurs]]. [[Land]]-[[animal]] life reached its greatest [[development]], in point of size, and had [[virtually]] perished from the face of the [[earth]] by the end of this age. The dinosaurs evolved in all sizes from a [[species]] less than two feet long up to the huge noncarnivorous dinosaurs, seventy-five feet long, that have never since been equaled in bulk by any living [[creature]].

60:2.2 The largest of the dinosaurs [[originated]] in western North America. These monstrous [[reptiles]] are buried throughout the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountain Rocky Mountain] regions, along the whole of the Atlantic coast of North America, over western Europe, South Africa, and India, but not in Australia.

60:3.1 The great [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous Cretaceous] period derives its name from the predominance of the prolific chalk-making [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foraminifera foraminifers] in the seas. This period brings [[Urantia]] to near the end of the long [[Reptiles|reptilian] [[dominance]] and [[witnesses]] the [[appearance]] of flowering [[plants]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds bird] life on land. These are also the times of the termination of the westward and southward [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift drift of the continents], accompanied by tremendous [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_crust crustal] deformations and concomitant widespread [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava lava] flows and great [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanoes volcanic] activities.

60:3.2 Near the close of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_60_-_Urantia_During_Early_Land-Life_Era#60:2._THE_LATER_REPTILIAN_AGE preceding geologic period] much of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continents continental] [[land]] was up above [[water]], although as yet there were no mountain peaks. But as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift continental land drift] continued, it met with the first great obstruction on the deep floor of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_ocean Pacific]. This [[contention]] of geologic [[forces]] gave impetus to the formation of the whole vast north and south mountain range extending from Alaska down through Mexico to Cape Horn.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ring_of_Fire]

60:3.3 This period thus becomes the modern [[mountain]]-building [[stage]] of [[geologic]] [[history]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orogeny] Prior to this time there were few mountain [[Summit|peaks]], merely elevated land ridges of great width. Now the Pacific coast range was beginning to elevate, but it was located seven hundred miles west of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Cordillera_(North_America)#Geologic_origin present shore line]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierras Sierras] were beginning to form, their gold-bearing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz quartz] strata being the product of lava flows of this [[epoch]]. In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_the_Appalachians eastern part of North America], Atlantic sea pressure was also working to cause [[land]] elevation.
