How old are the first recognizable mammals relative to the K/T boundary layer (i.e., extinction of the dinosaurs), and from what reptilian lineage did they evolve? Is this lineage the same reptilian lineage that gave rise to birds? How are these lineages distinguished? Hold old are the first fossil birds? What other plant/animal lineages first became widespread in the Tertiary that were less common in the Cretaceous?..
WHAT IF? Fossils show that dinosaurs originated200–250 million years ago. Would you expect the geographic distribution of early dinosaur fossils to be broad(on many continents) or narrow (on one or a few continents only)? Explain.
