Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary
The Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary, formerly known as the Cretaceous–Tertiary (K–T) boundary, is a geological signature, usually a thin band. It defines the end of the Mesozoic Era, and is usually estimated at around 66 Ma (million years ago), with more specific radioisotope dating yielding an age of 66.043 ± 0.011 Ma. ''K'' is the traditional abbreviation for the Cretaceous Period, and ''Pg'' is the abbreviation for the Paleogene Period. The boundary marks the end of the Cretaceous Period, the last period of the Mesozoic Era, and marks the beginning of the Paleogene Period of the Cenozoic Era. The boundary is associated with the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, a mass extinction which is considered to be the demise of the non-avian dinosaurs in addition to a majority of the world's Mesozoic species.
