A new Triassic crocodylomorph from Gloucester sheds light on early crocodile evolution and pre-extinction ecosystems.

The forerunners of dinosaurs and crocodiles in the Triassic period were able to migrate across areas of the ancient world deemed completely inhospitable to life, new research suggests. In a paper ...

The mass extinction that wiped out nearly all life on Earth just before the dinosaurs evolved may have been caused by a global temperature drop rather than a rapidly warming climate. The End Triassic ...

The Triassic is one of the most important periods in the evolution of life on Earth. After one of the greatest mass ...

Reconstruction of a Late Triassic landscape (approximately 215 million years ago). A lagerpetid, a close relative of pterosaurs, is perched on a rock, observing pterosaurs flying overhead.

The Triassic is a geologic period of the Mesozoic Era spanning approximately 252 to 201 million years ago, immediately following the Permian–Triassic mass extinction and preceding the Jurassic. It is ...

Learn how geological clues preserved in ancient oceans link repeated volcanic eruptions to Triassic marine extinctions. Mass extinctions are often imagined as sudden, planet-wide catastrophes caused ...
