HOW IS DIVIDED?

3

The First period “Age of reptiles”

Crocodiles, turtles. The earliest mammals evolved.

Small sizes (like a mouse) Permanent extinction=extreme natural conditions

TRIASSIC PERIOD1

The environment in all the periodVolcano eruptionGlobal coolingSeparation of the tectonic floor.

Extra= coral was already in the ocean it survive the terminal extinction

ENVIRONMENT

Dinosaurs were the most common animalThey rule about 150

million years in all the times

They evolved ( Archaeopteryx)

JURASSIC PERIOD2

At all the JurassicHot and dryThe season were more notariesFlower plants evolvedThe laurasia and gondwana separation

Extra= sharks, rays, ammonites and crocodiles appear.

ENVIRONMENT

The longest period The reptiles still rule

Giants Sauropod Massive extinction

(more than half of the animals and plants)=asteroid

Ouranosaurus

Mosasaurus
