This presentation will try to describe the essential facts and show the different dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals of the Mesozoic Era, called the age of the dinosaurs, and its Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
The presentation begins with a brief description of the Mesozoic Era, a brief explanation of continental drift during this geological time, then the definition of dinosaur and, starting from the oldest to the most recent period, some of the dinosaurs that lived in our planet; to finish with some reptiles that lived alongside dinosaurs.

As a clarification, each period and epoch have a color given by the RGB Color Code according to the Commission for the Geological Map of the World (CGMW - Commission for the Geological Map of the World) and the names and approximate years of beginning and its ending, according to the International Chronostratigraphic Chart belonging to the National Commission on Stratigraphy.

About the author:
"Hello. My name is Romina Aimar, I’m from Santa Rosa, province of La Pampa in Argentina.
I’m a computer teacher in National University of La Pampa.
My passion for thematic philately is recent and, although my passion is for computers, I love both paleonthology and philately and I decided to combine them.
My first stamps were Argentinian stamps that I inherited from my mother (my grandfather and my uncle worked in the post office), and so it began my fascination for the philately.
The Argentinian Post Office in Santa Rosa launched a convocation to local philatelists to set up an exhibition and my constant visits to the post office helped me to be convened.
I felt frustrated in the beginning because there is a lot of rules to make a presentation, so I decided to do it virtually and receive suggestions and advices from more experimented philatelists.
At the link I show the first draft of the virtual presentation.
Then I contact Michael (Admin of this site), who give me the possibility to publish my presentation in Spanish on his website and to whom I am deeply grateful and, as a personal challenge, I wrote it also in English.
I’m also very grateful to my husband Sergio Dalmasso for his constant support and the help that he gave me with the translation."
