65000000 B.C. is a prehistoric land composed of one supercontinent. Its resources are disputed over by the Reptites and Apes. Dinosaurs and other ancient monsters roam the land, and are hunted by tribespeople from the human settlements Ioka and Laruba. The leader of the effort against the Reptites is Ayla, the most incredible fighter alive, while Azala, a telepathic, highly advanced Reptite controls the opposition. 65000000 B.C. is an amalgation of the Pleistocene Epoch and the Mesozoic Era in our own history. Within the former, humans began to reach a fully evolved state, and the latter witnessed the rise and fall of the dinosaurs -- made extinct in this case by Lavos, who appears before his fall in the form of a Red Star seen atop the Dactyl Nest and Tyrano Lair in the distant sky. Azala prophesied the fall of Lavos and the onslaught of an Ice Age that would result in the extinction of the Reptites. She was correct, though another dimension exists in which Lavos never fell and the Reptites were able to defeat the humans.

Crono's party makes three required trips to this era; the first involves obtaining Dreamstone from Ayla by defeating her in a competition to drink alcohol. The party fell victim to a betrayal by Kino and a subsequent Reptite raid on the items he stole. This necessitated a venture to the Reptite Lair to retrieve the Gate Key. Later, after the Battle with Magus, the party was thrown to this era and learned that the Reptites struck Laruba and captured several humans for food. Ayla and the party journeyed to the Tyrano Lair by way of Dactyls and defeated Azala; Lavos then landed, and the party entered 12000 B.C. in the Lair Ruins. Lastly, the party came to this era to deposit the Sun Stone for recharging as part of the Sun Stone sidequest. After the fall of Lavos, the villagers of Ioka voiced their confusion about the cold weather and worried about the future.

Name Origin

65000000 B.C. was probably chosen for this era because it is the date given by Luis Alvarez, a famous researcher, as the rough estimate of the Cretaceous extinction. This event marked a large meteorite's impact at the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, which caused the extinction of numerous animals.
