Leefructusmirus fossil (Northern China) from the Cretaceous period, about 125million years ago.TheCretacerous was the last period of the Mesozoic Era, which isbest-known for the dinosaurs. However, plant life also changeddrastically during the Mesozoic.Theearly Mesozoic was dominated by ferns, cycads, ginkgophytes,bennettitaleans, and other unusual plants. The first moderngymnosperms (flowerless plants that produce cones and seeds)appeared in modern recognizable forms in the early Triassic period.Theearliest angiosperms (flowering plants) appeared by the middleof the Cretaceous period, and began to diversify. They mostly tookover from the other plant groups. Most plants today are angiosperms.Leefructus was a genus of eudicot plants that went extinct during the early Cretaceous. -- source link
