Detailed Solution

The Mesozoic era (about 250 to 65 million years ago), with the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, is called the Age of Reptiles.
During this era, dinosaurs and other reptiles were the dominant animals on land, in the sea and in the air.
The Cenozoic era is the Age of Mammals; the Paleozoic saw the rise of fishes and amphibians.
So reptiles were dominant in the Mesozoic era.
