Dinosaurs and Other Animals of the Triassic

The second in a series of five books, this book tells the history of life at the start of the Mesozoic Era during the Triassic Period, which was between 252 and 201 million years ago. In this period, the first lepidosaurs (the group containing snakes and lizards) and first archosaurs (the group containing crocodiles and birds) appeared. The first dinosaurs walked the land, the first pterosaurs filled the skies, and the seas were populated by marine reptiles such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and others.

In this beautiful full-color illustrated book, you will learn about:

The paleogeography of the Triassic - how the continents were joined in one gigantic supercontinent
The climate of the Triassic
The flora of the Triassic
Marine life of the Triassic including plankton, marine invertebrates, fish and marine reptiles such ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and placodonts
Terrestrial life of the Triassic including insects, spiders, lungfish, amphibians, parareptiles, therapsids (mammal-like reptiles), lepidosaurs, archosaurs and dinosaurs
Dinosaurs of the Triassic including the split between lizard-hipped (Saurischia) and bird-hipped (Ornithischia) dinosaurs
The first theropod dinosaurs (the group which would eventually give rise to Tyrannosaurus rex, Allosaurus, Velociraptor and birds)
The first sauropodomorph dinosaurs (the group which would eventually rise to Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus)
The first ornithischian dinosaurs (the group which would eventually give rise to Iguanodon, Triceratops, duckbilled dinosaurs and other famous herbivores)
The Triassic coal gap
Extinction events of the Triassic
And much more
