  
Throughout the Mesozoic Era, there were no grasses! Small ferns provided the only ground cover there was. Gingko and tree fern forests flourished, while near the equator were forests of conifers and cycads. Horsetails grew near bodies of water. Towards the end of the Cretaceous, flowering plants appeared, including beech, fig, and magnolia, and seed ferns became extinct.
