Around 100 million years ago, India and Madagascar separated from Antarctica, leading to the opening of the Indian Ocean and the peak of Cretaceous dinosaurs, including the Argentinosaurus. By 88 million years ago, Madagascar moved closer to Africa, while India approached Eurasia, and dinosaurs continued to thrive alongside dominant gymnosperms. This period marks significant geological and biological changes, including the emergence of flowering plants and the expansion of mammals.
