The End Triassic Extinction, one of Earth’s most significant mass extinctions, reshaped life on the planet 201.6 million ...

"That's your Permo-Triassic transition zone. Brace yourself, you're about to go through the extinction." The fossils embedded in this road cut suggest that synapsids took a savage hit at the end ...

Their rapid expansion was brought to a halt at the end of the Triassic 200 million years ago by two extinction events in quick succession. Despite the effects of the second extinction event already ...

volcanic eruptions triggered a global extinction event and cleared the way for the age of dinosaurs. The end-Triassic extinction wiped out three-quarters of life on Earth, but precisely how that ...

It would not be until the end-Triassic extinction event that occurred 201 million years ago that dinosaurs would finally get their chance. The mass extinction wiped out almost all the other competing ...

By about 200 million years ago, however, dinosaurs had essentially taken over the planet, while most other reptiles disappeared during the end-Triassic extinction at around that time. What led to ...

New research suggests the opposite: Icy temperatures were to blame. The so-called End Triassic Extinction marks the end of the Triassic and the beginning of the Jurassic period. Exactly how the ...

While volcanism caused a temporary cold period, the effects had already worn off thousands of years before the meteorite, the ultimate cause of the dinosaur extinction event, impacted.

The link between massive flood basalt volcanism and the end-Triassic (201 million years ago) mass extinction is commonly accepted. However, exactly how volcanism led to the collapse of ecosystems ...

Life in the Triassic period had a rough start. In the Permian period before, the largest mass extinction event in Earth’s history had just taken place. Despite the widespread devastation ...
