Interesting Facts

The climate of the Cretaceous period was warmer than it is today. Evidence shows that there were tropical conditions through the 45th parallel north, which crosses the northern part of the U.S.. The temperature was lower at the beginning of the period and reached a maximum temperature in the middle before dropping again at the end of the period. The water temperature was 30 °C (86 °F) around the equator and temperatures ranging from 14 °C (57 °F) to 17 °C (63 °F) depending on the season at the poles.
